In Re the Estate of Bridget Mukeli Wambua [2008] KEHC 2711 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MALINDI

Cause 1 of 2008

IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OFBRIDGET MUKELI WAMBUA

R U L I N G

By a Petition in Form (90)B of the Probate and Administration, the applicant sought orders of issuance of letters of administration ad-litem in respect of the estate of Bridget Mukeli Wambua (deceased).

The application is supported by the annexed affidavit of Benedict Mwanga Wambua sworn on 6th February 2008.

For avoidance of doubt the prayer is specific:  The grant of the letters ad-litem is limited for the purpose of filing suit only.

I have scanned through the application and find that the applicant died on 26th September 2006 at Malindi.  He is survived by six (6) dependants itemized in the application.  Damages are to be recovered for the benefit of the estate.

In those circumstances, I find that the application is merited.  Accordingly the order sought is granted limited to filing suit only.

DATED and delivered at Malindi this  22nd day of  May 2008.
