Management of succession registers

Management of succession registers

Following the abolition of the Buganda Kingdom in 1966, the Administrator General was given power to control the succession registers formally operated by the Kabaka’s government.[1] These relate to persons who died in the early 1940s-1966 and had as a matter of requirement to register with the Kabaka’s government, their properties, and dependant relatives and how they wanted the same shared amongst their survivors upon their demise. The Directorate of Administrator General facilitates beneficiaries to access this land and the properties registered in this succession Register books after proper verification.
