Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, relatives of the late Genius Kadungure who died on 8 November 2020, sought an interim interdict to stop the first respondent from administering the estate based on an unsigned will. The Master had accepted the unsigned document as the deceased's will and appointed the first respondent as executrix, but the applicants alleged the will was fake and they had been unduly influenced to accept it.
