Whoever the father thought best to inherit it. In the absence of any will, the Mother. Who the hell is a first son. 2 Likes |

sentiments aside. If his father did not leave a will, the house will be for the mother, if they were legally married, until she joins her husband. But she should also know that she can’t sell the house. As a first son, if he wants, he can shamelessly bring his wife to live in the house as well, no one can stop him. 7 Likes |

Shame on his money, if he could not use it to maintain peace in the family. |

Slimslimqq:it is unwise to say you want to evict your mother from a house you said you built for your father. Build your own or find a way to accommodate everybody who has been living there before you came back frkm SA, from the look of it, it's not like the house is a mansion or, you even bought the land... The only time you would want to evict your mother is if she starts a new relationship, in That case she most leave the house and follow the man.. Right now she's your father's widow, and it's right to live there, shey you said you built it for your Father not for yourself? 2 Likes |

Slimslimqq: I can never fight my own very biological mother over anything. No be she born u? When I’m not a bastard. I can argue and even disagree bt can’t take any action on her husband’s property without her approval and consent. I can bt I won’t because it’s wrong in my books. Let the mother have her way and let him go rent an apartment at the end of the day it still belongs to him either ways. The mum is only using it for her comfort or sentimental reasons to remember his dad. Honor ur parents pls and it will be well with u. Alternatively u can also develop ur father’s property and give her a section of it while u and ur family stay in another section bt remember u can’t just drive ur siblings out and render them homeless that will be Smtn ur father would expect of u. Unless they already have a place of their own to stay or u help them with that. Cheers. 1 Like |

Law is different from common sense LAW The first port of call is the title . does the house have a title? Assuming it is and is in the name of the deceased The next question is what type of marriage did they have ? Registry, Traditional or Islamic Next did the deceased leave a WILL 1. Will present= follow the will or go to court to challenge the will 2. No Will a) Registry Marriage, I believe the wife is the legal heir(ess) b) Traditional Marriage. The wife has no claim whatsoever in Yorubaland if the man has children then they inherit everything though court may exercise discretion c) Islamic........I no know book oooo COMMON SENSE It is totally lacking in shame and common sense for the dispute to have reached this stage. If you built a house for your father what are you thinking when you are now trying to claim it back through court/law etc/ How much de house be sef? Guy forget about it and make peace with your mother |

Slimslimqq: He built on his father's land, not his own land, he has no right to evict his mum from that house. I made a serious mistake and there is nothing he can do that the society would accept cos that land belong to his father, thank you. 2 Likes |

The guy should either stay in the said house happily and peacefully with his mum and siblings or go and either rent or build a house of his own. The mother has a full right to the said house as long as she lives. The first son takes charge after the mum's death. 2 Likes |

Slimslimqq: For his mother to be dragging with her son, it means that both of them are not getting along and have never gotten along all the while, even when his dad was alive For his own interest and safety Let him forget about that particular house and look for space to build his own house The mother can use his siblings to fight him because of that house His mother can maim him because of that house The whole family can be against him because of that house At the end, he will finish the house but may not be alive to leave there 2 Likes |

The young man is a disappointment. The house 100% belong to his wife by virtue of marriage but in this case the wife happens to also be his mother. At this point, it's not about who have right of ownership, even it's your house that you built in your name and you travelled and you parent started leaving in the house, you have no moral justification to evict them. Let assume the mum is a very terrible person, which is not the case, the best option is to move on because you can't even evict your brothers and sisters from the house talk less of your mother. 1 Like |

Sirmuel1: Read your first paragraph and the last paragraph if they're in line. Na wa. @ op, tell your guy to go get an apartment elsewhere. Eventually, the mom will leave the property for him. In my place, after the father's internment, the elders of the family wades in and share the property, with the female children inheriting something at least; though the son takes the largest of the property.  |

Slimslimqq:He has taken the position of the father, and he has to act like a father. He can’t chase away his siblings just like the father can’t chase his children, neither can he deny his mother just like the father won’t. But incase any major decision as how the property would be handled, he would be a key decision maker just like the way his father would. No one can make key decision about the property like he would do. But his decision must include the combine interest of the family ‘o matter what. 1 Like |

The idiotic boy wanted to sack his MOTHER and siblings and take in wife to be that had been serviced by boys in the neighbourhood whilst this silly boy worked his socks off in South Africa. The boy should return to SA, work harder to earn more money and build a new flat. He's even lucky that extended family members didn't turn up to claim the house and the mum. 2 Likes |

As a grown man, will you rather your mother and siblings struggle for a place to live or will you rather rest knowing they are safe in their own home and you are with your own family at a place of your choosing? There's nothing much to say here other than "POVERTY NA BASTARD", it can only be poverty that would allow a son drag property with his own mother, those who have self respect don't rely on inheritance but see it as mere bonus. 1 Like |

That friend of yours is a bunch of fool. He didn't sent a dime to his late father. How could he claimed to have sent money to his late father to build a house and now dragging that same house with his own mum. I know that guy very well, He was selling cigarette in South Africa. Kindly advice him to go and rent one room face me I face you apartment, if he really want to marry. Him mate de build duplex for they mum and he is here dragging 3rooms with his mum and siblings after 6 wasted years in SA. Shameless guy...... 4 Likes |

The mother is entitled to the house as the wife of the deceased. The man would have no rights till the mother leaves this earth. |
| Re: Mother Or First Son, Who Is Entitled To The Late Father's Property by Nobody: 7:32pm On Aug 09, 2021 |
Legally the house belongs to the wife, in absence of a will by the deceased. That first son gibberish is tradition and not according to laws of the federal republic of Nigeria. But the question that keeps bugging me is this; If his father was still alive, now that he has returned from South Africa to marry and settle down , would he have ejected his father from the house too?  8 Likes 2 Shares |
