What Happens If an Administrator Dies Before Completing Estate Duties? | Uganda Law Explained

What happens when an administrator of an estate passes on before completing their legal duties?
Many Ugandan families get stuck for years because they don’t know what to do when the administrator dies — land can’t be transferred, bank accounts freeze, and disputes start.
In this video, I explain in simple, practical language:
Who an administrator is under Ugandan law
Why the administrator’s role is critical for beneficiaries

What happens legally when an administrator dies
The steps to cancel the deceased administrator’s Letters of Administration
How the family appoints a new administrator
Why this process is shorter and simpler than the first application

⚠️ Ignoring this process can expose the estate to fraud, illegal sales, and family conflict.
