Wills, Inheritance and Protection Act: Simplified version

The Government of Malawi undertook a review of all gender related legislation through the Law Commission. The Deceased Estates Act was reviewed in an attempt to curb problems with regard to property distribution among beneficiaries of deceased persons, especially vulnerable groups. The booklet is a simplified version of the Act in English and it covers making a will, protection of estates and intestate and testate estates as well as small estates.
