Title: The fight for the protection of family real estate in the Kasende Kasende family
Introduction :
In a complex legal battle, members of the Kasende Kasende family are fighting to protect their real estate in Kananga, in the Kasai Central province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a recent statement, some family members expressed their firm stance that no sale of their plots can take place without their permission. This situation highlights the challenges many families face when it comes to protecting their property assets.
The context of the succession:
Since the death of patriarch Martin Kasende Kas Kas in 2016, the succession has been underway. After long years of legal battles, Célimène Kasende was appointed liquidator of the family’s assets. However, other members of the family, such as Kasende Kalala André, Kasende Mpemba Élisabeth, Kasenge Ngalula Marie and Kasende Mbambi Nathalie, residing in Kinshasa, claim to have never delegated a representative and contest the judgments rendered by the alleged liquidator.
The warning against usurpers:
Lawyers for members of the Kasende family have warned against those who would get involved in this matter without clear proof of their legitimacy. They specifically mentioned Mrs. Ndibu Rose, who claims to be the legitimate widow of the deceased Martin Kasende. The lawyers stressed that the judgments rendered by the liquidator are currently under appeal before the Court of Appeal of Kasai Central, thus strengthening their position to protect their real estate.
The importance of protecting family heritage:
The Kasende family’s struggle to protect their real estate highlights the importance of preserving family assets. In many families, real estate is passed down from generation to generation and constitutes a valuable inheritance. This is why it is essential to ensure that legal procedures are followed and that the rights of each family member are respected.
Conclusion :
The legal battle within the Kasende Kasende family to protect their real estate assets highlights the challenges many families face when it comes to preserving their wealth. It is important to follow proper legal procedures and ensure that each family member has the opportunity to defend their rights. The protection of family assets is essential to ensure the sustainability and stability of future generations.
