cococandy: Can a wife also entrust her estate to her siblings to take care of her kids in the eventuality of her sudden death?
And don't act like there aren't hordes of wealthy women out there. There are.
I just want to know if it sits well with you that she wills her wealth to her siblings or any other person she TRUST more than her husband so that if she dies before him,he won't use the money to marry another wife and abandon her own.

SAMBARRY: Confession time
see as all of them dey jabo dey go.so Kanwuliiiaaaaaaa was right after all. Nigerian Husband/wife=roommates. Kids are better for next of kin.iyen na nice

cococandy: Are you doing it at the detriment of your iown immediate family?
If no why should you stop?
I don't see how the posts here discourage anyone from taking care of their siblings.

Paying the fees of a brother is very different from making him your heir when you have a wife and kids.

donpeey22: Yes! I'm denying my immediate family members some extra luxuries to cater for the lad and atimes his mum and other sibling. Or do you think money is ever enough? Or is it a crime if i use the money I'm spending on him to send my immediate family on holidays abroad like many wealthy Nigerians would rather do? Not really that i care about how other people choose to spend their money but it's really amazing how people easily find it hard to trust a dead man's sibling or relative to take better care of his children, especially when the man is wealthy. But when the man only left liabilities for his siblings and relatives to inherit, everybody sees it as their responsibilities. And don't even tell me you are not aware that such instances are in the majority in Nigeria. My point is, a man should will his wealth to his children if they have grown up to the legal age, but if they are still minors, a trust fund should be set up for them, of which his most trusted person/s should be the trustee and this most trusted person could be either his sibling, other relative, friend or his wife. A spouse should never expressly become heir to his/her late spouse's wealth. However, a deserving spouse can always have a portion of his/her late spouse's wealth willed to him/her. Forget all the sentiments about people being one with their spouses as no two individuals coming from different homes and backgrounds are ever ONE. This is why many couples divorce while most who don't get divorced for one reason or another, live in cold war until one partner dies.

I work with the Public Service and have had the opportunity to go through several documents of men who have been married for years with children
but simply deliberately refused to include their wives as next-of-kin, choosing rather their children.

Nashville: I have my wife as my next of kin. I married her because I trust her and in case of any unexpected events, I know she is best able to take decisions in the interest of my children. And besides, my wife does not need my money to survive. She earns a living and can survive on her salary.

But if you think your wife wants to kill you, it's better you get a separation than live in fear. Why are people sooo scared of their spouses?

simplyOJ:

I am with you on this. Mine is also my next of kin. She will always be available to cater for the kids incase of any eventualities. Let the kids wait and get married.

Most people are really not married

Blockus: ANy WOman who isnt her Husbands 'Next of Kin' has no business being married to that Man..





The Day the man dies, dont be shocked to see his next of Kin show up to claim ownership of everything. Even your child can take over everything and kick you to the curb.

Blockus:


Any Man whose wife is not his next of Kin simply means:: Your Husband does not trust you with his fortunes.




Na those kind women go dey house, Husband brother go show, tell her to enter bedroom go position for bed wait am, whilst ehn take inventory of the properties wey ehn don inherit.

KillerBeauty:

The reaaon why husband and wife hustle is all because of their children. So let the kids have it all.

[b]My Millionaire Uncle had an Interesting Will..

His will placed all he had in the care of his wife should he pass and for her to manage it as she would. He put in clauses that made contributions to his Childrens 'Trust Fund' that was still under the control of his wife..

He put in another clause for his properties and investment to be held in trust for his kids by his best Friend the current Senate President and one of the Chairmen of his company should he pass on with his Wife. He didnt leave any of his estate under the control of his siblings..

Today, his Kids are all living well under the control of their Mum and his wealth profile has not dropped as such. His first son has finished school with an MSc and has been recruited by his fathers company (at entry level o)..




Now the hussle may be for the future generation, but only a fool puts his estate in the hands of a Child.

If you dont trust your wife to properly manage your estate, that means you are marry to the wrong woman or a reetard.[/b]

simplyOJ: Marriage defiled mathematical solution of 1+1. In mathematics, the answer is 2 as we all know. But in the marriage equation, the answer is 1. Do the man and the woman see themselves as 1? Or is the union viewed a marriage of convenience which only exist to bear children.

The reason for this thread is just to sample our opinion as it relates to Next-of-Kin status as it relates to the woman in the marriage.
I work with the Public Service and have had the opportunity to go through several documents of men who have been married for years with children
but simply deliberately refused to include their wives as next-of-kin, choosing rather their children.

I was able to sample the opinion of some and one reason that seems prominent with all revolves round suspicion and general lack of trust towards their wives. Do you as a husband Man, share in this suspicion? And as a wifee Woman, how do you feel to know that your husband do not feel comfortable making you his next of kin?

soulglo:


At least you're honest. I am very sure you do not expect your wife to cater to you. You definitely should not be her focus. Her allegiance should be to others. You obviously were not seeking a life partner in the person you married. She's just there to carry the babies. I just hope she's very aware that she ain't 5hit. People like you should disclose all before you marry a woman because you clearly do not understand what a life partnership is. People give more in business partnerships. When your wife is not a drug addict or a street walker it is very shocking that you believe that your siblings could take better care of her own children than she can

francleanflexy: most ppl feel that their wife will kill them n make away with their properties

Why?!



So you trust your fortunes with your kids more than with your wife who hussled with you?!
