Durinsday:


Today, they can inherit it if there is a will written by their father to them; though with some opposition from the men of the family. It depends on the level of enlightenment. If it were before and also in some very conservative areas now, they would very likely lose the land to their father's brothers but gain other property. Not fair though
What if the mother owns the properties?

Fellow nairalanders, i am greatful for your contributions especially Durinsday and 001ng who have given it in full details. The informations i got here together with the ones i got from my closer associates confirms that i have a traditional and judicial right over my mum's shop.

But, one funny thing here is that my elder brother, the first son, seems to be desiring to own the shop because he deemed me too weak to stand for my right. He even said he will forcefuly obtain the documents of the shop from my sister and keep it for himself.

Now, i have decided to go to this my elder brother and boldly ask him to accompany me to my sister's house, for her to offer me the shop's document. If any of them fail me in this, i will immedietly prepare a law-suit. Perhaps that will be the best way to solve it amicably. I do not want to go to those dubious easily corrupted villagers who called themselves umunna!

My brother, you must be in good terms with your umunna. It's necessary, it's not an option. They will stand by you if your sister refused to let go. They will melt out punishment to her if she disagree.

You have to locate your dad immediate brothers and liaise with them if you are comfortable with them. But firstly you must start within your family , if she doesn't want to release them to you, then you can involve your mom siblings, she is hard, you can involve your dad siblings, if she is still hard then umunna will come in.
God help you.
