Siblings Challenge Validity of US$100K House Donation

Chipo, the recipient of the US$100K house in Mabelreign, faced legal challenges from her siblings who questioned the validity of the donation. They argued that their late mother lacked the mental capacity to comprehend the deed of donation she signed for the property.

Supreme Court Overturns High Court Decision

Initially, the High Court ruled in favor of Chipo’s siblings, ordering an equal distribution of their mother’s estate. However, Chipo appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn the judgment. The Supreme Court bench, consisting of Justices Susan Mavangira, Lovender Makoni, and Joseph Musakwa, reviewed the case. They determined that the deceased’s intention was indeed to benefit Chipo, and the donation was valid. While the property had not been transferred during the donor’s lifetime, the judges emphasized that the donation agreement, upon acceptance, created legal rights and obligations.

Her siblings opposed this application, leading to the protracted legal battle. The Supreme Court ruling ultimately affirmed Chipo’s right to the donated property.
