dc.description	This work deals with assessment on the laws governing failure to file inventory by the executor or executrix. However, in understanding the law, the history can be traced at worldwide, regional wise and national wise. The laws governing failure to file inventory in Tanzania is governed under Indian Succession Act of 1865, which applies to all Christians, and Africans whose mode of life no longer conforms to African practice, and The Probate and Administration of Estate Act. Despite the availability of law which provide instruction on how to and why one should file inventory, still there is problem in filing the inventory at the proper time by the executor or executrix after the death of the testator. The objective of this research is to make examination of the law and practice concerning the issue of failure to file inventory by the executor or executrix and the punishment given compared to the wrong done. This is because most of these administrators take it simple simply because of the punishment given is less heavy compared to what they have done. The research was conducted in Mwanza Region through the information obtained from different persons by using interview verbal and eye to eye contact with the respondents and documentary review. This research has great importance because it shows the reasons for why the executor or executrix continues to commit the same wrong of failing to file the inventory and what must be done so as to deter or prevent them from doing so.
