I might be ignorant on this issue, yes but has anyone of you heard of or seen a woman who has a will?

Over the past few months I've been wondering about it if wills are only meant for men/designed for men.

Women die too and a lot have work and assets they should have wills.

A lot of women have wills but very few mention their husbands or give them any sort of control over their assets same women who will advocate for men to make them sole Beneficiary and executioners

Doesn't mean whether they will anything to men or not.

My reason for creating this thread is that I've never heard of or seen any Nigerian woman who has a will. Legal will/testament is like a man stuff in Africa because women don't see the need for it

They need it, many women especially single mothers and widows have wills. A will is not a public document but ask lawyers who draft wills they will tell you

It'll be a ratio of 3 to 10.
