Nakku’s father was buried yesterday but her uncle Lwasa want to take over all the property ‘mbu’ his brother (Nakku’s father) made that will a long time ago when he was immature and just got too busy to change it so the will is expired. Nakku wants to know if a will can expire
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
A will CANNOT expire. There is no time limit or expiry date on a will.
This is because a will shows what person wishes for when they are dead. It means that person has every chance while they are alive to change the will if their wishes should change.
If a person wants to end the contract, he/she must do one these things;
1. Make a new will
2. Tear/burn or destroy the old will.
3. Make an addition to the existing will.
ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS??
There are. There is something called Privileged Wills. This is a will made by a person who is a soldier and is likely to die in war etc. the law allows this person to make this will ‘just in case they do not survive’.
The moment they return from war, and they are no longer in the armed forces, the law says this will expires after a month. Therefore, an ordinary citizen cannot make such a will and the ones they make cannot expire.
