ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES ACT Chapter 6:01 (5) Letters of administration from the Master shall not be necessary for, nor shall the Master be called upon to interfere in, the administration and distribution of the estate of any such African unless the presiding officer of a community court reports that it is the desire of the persons concerned in the estate, according to African usages and customs, that an executor dative should be appointed: Provided that— (i) in cases where the sole object of requiring the appointment of an executor dative is for the purpose of passing transfer of land held under title registered in the name of the deceased African to any successor entitled thereto, the Master may summarily make such appointment; (ii) the Master may, should he deem it requisite to do so, cause notice to be given in the Gazette, or in some other manner, of the application made to him for the appointment of an executor dative for the purpose of passing transfer of the land held by the deceased and calling upon persons having or alleging any claim against the deceased, or any objection, to intimate to him, before a date to be stated, not being less than fourteen days from the publication of such notice, of their claims or objections failing which such appointment will be made; (iii) the Master may in such cases dispense with the customary bond of security for due administration. 68 Reissue
