The Master of the High Court says complaints by relatives of the late MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai over his estate are premature.The relatives charged that Tsvangirai's widow had understated the politician’s estate. But the Master of the High Court says an edict meeting to appoint the executor should be convened first before an investigation into the correctness of the inventory is conducted.
The Master of the High Court wrote the Tsvangirai family and said that they had to wait until time for such complaints come.
“We, however, wish to advise that what was filed is a preliminary inventory to facilitate registration of the estate. The omission (if any) of some assets is therefore in our respective view not fatal at this stage.
“In terms of the law, it is the duty of the executor to account for all known assets in the executor’s inventory and estate liquidation and distribution account.
“The executor is usually given six weeks from date of issuance of letters of administration to lodge the executor’s inventory and six months to lodge the estate liquidation and distribution account.”
The Master’s office said the executor had not yet been appointed in the Tsvangirai case and that there was no need to panic.
