validity of lease deed on death of lessor

A piece of agricultural land had been leased out in 1995 for a period of 3 years and there is no clause as to the expiry or continuation of the lease after the 3 year period. The lease has been registered and there is an entry in the Encumberance Certificate (EC).

The lessor died in 1998.

Is the lease still valid? What do I need to do to cancel the entry in the EC?


thanks

If the lease expires the lessee will not be called as trespasser but a tenant holding over or sufference. Cancellationof a lease shall be done in the presence of the lessee. There cannot be an unilateral concellationof an instrument.  Mere cancellation is not enough, you must be in a postion to get possession of the property.  The lease is valid for all practicle purposes, and take proceedings in law for possession of the property
