That the six children of Maria Stella Zahra inherited their grandparents in the undivided share of the one of dicocytotesm (1/18) and this in virtue of the will unica charta dated twenty-first (21) of December of the year, 1928, in the records of Notary doctor Salvatore Cauchi. These six children emerged from researches which were Mary Shepard, Josephine Abela, Emanuel Zahra, Frank Zahra, Rita Gatt and Vincenza Zammit, and it also results that:

a) Mary Shepard died abroad and her heirs are unknown,

b) Josephine Abela died on the 4th February 2006 and according to her will dated the 26th March, 1996, in the records of Notary Dr William Azzopardi, her three children Elizabeth sive Alice Pisani (applicant), Stella Cortis (applicant) and Paul Abela inherited her. Paul Abela died on the twenty-second (22) of March, 2017, and according to his will in the records of Notary Dr William Azzopardi of the seventeenth (17) of May of the year two thousand and six (2006) his wife Mary Abela inherited him,

c) Emanuel Zahra died on the 11th June, 2012, and according to his will dated 7th May, 1979, in the records of Notary Dr Joseph Sciberras, his wife Mary Zahra inherited him. Mary Zahra then died on the 2nd September of the year 2020, and according to her will of the 13th February of the year 2013 in the records of Notary Dr Rosella Sciberras, her niece Maria Concetta Gatt (applicant) and the children of her other prelate daughter Mary Portelli, namely Amanda Portelli (applicant) and Sandra Portelli (applicant) inherited her,

d) Frank Zahra died abroad and his heirs are unknown,

e) Rita Gatt died on the twenty-ninth (29) December, 1986, and was succeeded by her children Victor Gatt (applicant), John Gatt (applicant), Lawrence Gatt (applicant) and Carmel Hanrahan (applicant),

f) Vincenza Zammit died on the nineteenth (19) of January 2019 and according to her will dated twenty-first (21) of November, 2016, in the records of Notary Dr Rosella Scibberas, her children Mary Stella Mercieca (applicant), Mary Rose Briffa (applicant), Laura sive Lorenza Pace (applicant), Paulette Zammit (applicant) and Joseph Zammit (applicant) inherited her;

That thus the applicants belong, in a close manner and in terms of the researches of the undermentioned Notaries, the share of eight out of nine (8/9) undivided share of the premises 'in merit, whilst the share of two out of eighteen (2/18) does not belong to the applicants but belongs in a (1/18) dicocestine to the unknown heirs of Mary Shepard and in another (1/18) dicocestine to the unknown heirs of Frank Zahra;

That in terms of the preliminary agreement dated thirty (30) October, 2024, in the records of Notary Dr Maria Mifsud Bonnici, this majority above described to Dale Theuma Whitelaw, holder of identity card number 355691M, who accepted to buy and acquire the same premises and this for the overall price of one hundred and sixty five thousand euro (€165,000) and with the terms and conditions laid down in the same preliminary agreement as indicated in the a copy of the preliminary agreement which is being hereunder attached and marked as Doc. C, especially but not limitedly to institute the present cause;

That thus, the applicant owners are declaring that they agree on oath, as reflected in the promise of sale agreement de quo, that the house with the address of 56, Triq Orlando, Xgħajra, limits of Ħaż-Żabbar be sold;

That however it emerges that as there are owners namely other unknown co-heirs/owners, there does not exist the unanimous and express agreement of all the owners for the sale of the house number 56, Triq Orlando, Xgħajra, limits of Ħaż-Żabbar;

That the applicants declare that the same property has been in common between the parties for more than three (3) years and none of them initiated an action before any court or tribunal for the partition of the same property, and that the price indicated in the promise of sale agreement premised and namely that of one hundred and sixty five thousand euro (€165,000) is the highest price they found, and is agreed, real and fair;

That the sale of this property will be for the benefit of all the parties including the unknown heirs and/or unknown and thus the latter will not be seriously prejudiced by the sale proceeding in terms of the promise of sale agreement above mentioned;

That by means of a special power of attorney also dated thirty (30) October of the year 2024 (hereunder attached and marked as Doc. D), the applicants authorised Dale Theuma Whitelaw to appear and act on their behalf as regards the filing of any judicial act, appear in any judicial proceedings and take the oath on their behalf to file any judicial act or carry out any other act necessary for these purposes and thus in terms of the same power of attorney Dale Theuma Whitelaw has the authorisation to swear the present application on their behalf;

That thus this cause had to be made as contemplated in Article 495A of the Civil Code;

That the applicants know of these facts personally.

Thus, the applicants respectfully pray this Honourable Court that, saving the necessary declarations and after the opportune provisions are given, it deems fit:

1. Authorise the continuation of the sale of the house with the address of 56, Triq Orlando, Xgħajra, limits of Ħaż-Żabbar, including its airspace and subsoil and also including a well, according to the price, terms and conditions of the preliminary agreement dated thirty (30) th October, 2024, in the records of Notary Dr Maria Mifsud Bonnici, and this in favour of Dale Theuma Whitelaw;

2. Order the publication of the said sale by Notary Dr Maria Mifsud Bonnici and this at the time, place and day he deems fit to preach;

3. Appoint deputy curators for default to appear on the final deed of sale as it may order to be published, and this at the time, place and day so established by it;

4. Give any order and directive it deems fit and opportune including on how to keep the proceeds from the sale price due to the respondents.

With costs against the defendants, who are from now summoned so that a reference to their evidence be made.

The Sworn application number 168/2025AB in the names mentioned above is postponed to the 2nd June, 2026, at 11.40 am.
