Background
The plaintiff challenged the validity of a 2013 will made by his grandmother Anna Musakanda, claiming she lacked testamentary capacity and the will did not reflect her true wishes. He sought to be declared beneficiary of her farm instead of the 1st defendant who was the main beneficiary under the 2013 will.
