 The practice and procedure relating to probate and the administration of estates in Tanzania has undergone a significant transformation following the enactment of the Probate (Amendment) Rules, 2025. These Rules amend the existing framework under the Probate and Administration of Estates (Forms and Rules), G.N. No. 369 of 1963, made under the Probate and Administration of Estates Act [Cap. 352 R.E. 2023]. The amendments aim to modernize the probate process, promote efficiency, and address long-standing procedural gaps in the administration of estates.
