Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff, Margaret Chimkwepetsy, sought to set aside a certificate of heir granted to Biannah Hundi in 1998 for the estate of her late husband Denizio George, who died intestate in 1993. Biannah Hundi had fraudulently obtained the certificate by misrepresenting that Denizio George died divorced without children, when in fact he was survived by his wife and three children.
