A child born by a widow more than nine months after her husband’s death is not entitled to inherit a share of the deceased’s property, the High Court has ruled.
Lady Justice Lucy Gitari held that such a child cannot be regarded as having survived the deceased according to Section 29 of the Law of Succession Act, Cap 160.
