Lule and 3 Others v Najjemba and 3 Others (Civil Suit No. 61 of 2016) [2022] UGHCLD 50 (15 March 2022)
The court held that administrators of an estate are trustees for the beneficiaries and cannot be declared lawful owners of the estate property. Their role is to distribute the estate among all beneficiaries, not to claim ownership to the exclusion of other beneficiaries. The suit was found incompetent because the plaintiffs, as administrators, sought to be declared lawful owners, thereby alienating the interests of other beneficiaries, including the first defendant. The preliminary objection was sustained and the suit dismissed with costs.
