'You Can Now Disinherit Your Spouse' - Supreme Court


THE Supreme Court Tuesday passed a landmark ruling, which allows spouses to disinherit one another.
The ruling follows an appeal by Gerald Chigwada challenging the decision of the High Court which nullified a will by his late father Aaron Chigwada bequeathing him his share of property in favour of the surviving spouse.
“To deny a person married out of community of property the right to dispose of his or her property by will to whomsoever he or she chooses is to erode the foundation on which the doctrine of freedom of testation lies,” Supreme Court ruled.
“The decision of the High Court based on the proposition that a person married out of community of property may not dispose of his or her will or estate to whomsoever he or he chooses, being alleged to be bound to leave the property to the surviving spouse, are inconsistent with the fundamental right of the Constitution and of the Wills Act.
