The application subject of this ruling is dated 28 th January, 2020 brought under Section 26 of the Law of Succession Act and Rule 45(1) of Probate and Administration Rules where the applicant CNI seeks for provision from the estate of the deceased. 2. The applicant’s claim is based on the assertion that she was born of one JKT and the deceased herein and on the fact that she was not provided for in the deceased Will. She claims further that the deceased provided and maintained her since birth. In support she produced a birth certificate, pictures and a copy of a tribute she wrote upon the deceased death. 3. The application was not opposed. 4. In a similar application by one CK the court issued an order on the 13 th February 2020. Similarly, in this application it appears that the other beneficiaries do not oppose the inclusion and consideration of the applicant as beneficiary of the estate. I therefore direct and order that at the point of confirmation of the grant the Executors of the Will do make reasonable provision for the applicant from the residue of the estate. 5. Costs in the cause. DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at NAIROBI this 15th DAY OF OCTOBER, 2020. ALI-ARONI JUDGE
