Now of his children, Rose Daphine Nakibeeru has sued Kalemeera, accusing her of irregularly obtaining the powers of attorney to administer the deceased’s property and obtaining money from the property without knowledge of the concerned family members.
In March this year, Kalemeera obtained powers of attorney on the deceased’s property which includes ten pieces of land in Masaka, Kalangala and Entebbe, and four vehicles.
In her application before the family division of Masaka High court, Nakibeeru challenges the issuance of letters of administration to Kalemeera, whom she says had separated with the deceased almost 10 years ago before his death. She wants court to revoke the powers of administration and restrain the defendant from administering the estates in any way.
“The defendant obtained letters of administration without waiting for the will, which is expected in July 2021 when the last funeral rites of the deceased will be held,” the plaint reads in part.
She also says that while the deceased had two underage children of four and six years and other dependents whose interests on the estates of the deceased are also protected in law, Kalemeera did not include them while applying for powers of administration, something that raises suspicion about her motives.
“We pray that a judgment is entered against the defendant for fraudulently obtaining letters of administration to the estate of the late when they had separated almost 10 years preceding his demise. I have since caveated the said properties as a way of protecting my interests as a beneficiary as well as those of my other siblings who are not mothered by the respondent since she is not their biological mother,” the applicant indicates in her affidavits.
Nakibeeru also wants court to direct the respondent to return all the monies she has received or collected from the estate during the administration, which she says is fraudulent.
Kalemeera has not yet responded to the allegations levelled against her. Masaka High court registrar has scheduled June 4 to begin hearing the application.
