    "content": "We have seen many times when people die, many people pop up, some you have not heard of and some are even foreigners. They come and want to claim. This happens especially to people who have properties. I have never heard that people come and claim from men who die poor. We just want to make sure that there is clarity. A will provides some leeway to people who have not been recognised in law. They can now be captured in this amendment so that no one will just pop from anywhere to come and lay claim. You have seen people who have been associated with the deceased sometimes tend to behave like they have a claim in his estate. This amendment is going to bring sanity in these succession laws and also protect families. Sometimes families are disgraced by these people who just come around to lay claim to the estate of the deceased because of their association with him. I just want to say that this is a good amendment. If passed, even with clarifications and amendments that will come at the Committee of the whole House stage, it is going to improve what is already there. As I have always said, it is always good to put your house in order before you depart from this earth, so that you can protect those that you have left behind. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
