This is the property that belongs to a deceased person (i.e. a person who has died); it includes assets and debts which they accrued during their life. Deceased estates can be very large or very small and everyone should plan what should be done with their estate after they die even if they own a little bit and their estate is very small. Almost every person owns something and it goes into their deceased estate when they die. An interesting development in recent years is the concept of digital assets. These pertain to ownership of assets owned and consumed electronically such as online bank accounts, computer programmes, applications, accounts, photographs, music etc. This concept is still very undeveloped Zimbabwe and for now we will concentrate on the usual tangible assets like money, clothes, vehicles and houses. However, we look forward to also exploring and helping to develop the concept of inheritance of digital assets if people want to know more.
