This thesis paper is a hybrid research which centers on how the right to survivorship under joint tenancy affects women during intestate succession in “Semutto” town “Luwero” district. This particular district & town was once a war torn area & a place where numerous changes in land ownership & tenures also took place.
This thesis is geared towards assessing how the latter changes in land tenure have & will affect women’s rights to own property then, now & in the future. The land tenure systems under investigation are mailo, customary & freehold. Secondly, the thesis also explores one of the modes of Succession (Intestate Succession) & the effect the right of survivorship bears upon it.
The importance of this thesis is to find a solution to the archaic & out dated common law doctrines which have plagued our jurisprudence for long since the inception of common law in Uganda in 1889. Most women have suffered plights they shouldn’t have endured in the first place especially when inheriting property due to the right of survivorship. Hence the ultimatum of this thesis is to provide a way out of this dilemma.
