My father passed away without a will. The house is in his name. His legally registered wife (Chapter 5:11) lives in the UK, but his second 'customary' wife has lived in the house for 15 years. Who gets the Master's consent to sell it?
This is a messy family dispute in Warren Park. The first wife wants to sell the house and divide the money. The second wife refuses to leave, claiming it is her matrimonial home and she has minor children. I’m searching for an expert on the Administration of Estates Act to explain the exact hierarchy of inheritance and whether the 'Diaspora wife' can actually evict the 'resident wife'.
