Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the justification for this amendment is that under the Succession Act, the beneficiaries of an estate of a deceased person must consent to the appointment of an administrator or trustee and administration of the estate. It cannot proceed without such consent. The Bill proposes to make provision that dispenses with the consent of certain categories of persons such as persons absent from Kenya, persons under 18 years and not of full mental capacity, disabled persons and missing persons."}
