Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, children of the late Maxwell Joseph Mukanganise, sought to declare null and void the registration of their father's estate and reverse the transfer of his house to the first respondent, alleging that the first respondent had fraudulently omitted them from the death notice and was not legally married to the deceased. The application was opposed on preliminary points.
