Did the father wed the mother according to English law.
Secondly did the father have a will? I guess no.
In the case, in absence of any will (i.e the man died intestate) the whole properties belongs to the wife according to English law of succession.
If the mum is dead, then to the first son then sisters, etc.
Customary law of succession only come in this case if the man only did only traditional wedding.

The boy should let his mother be unless she's his step mum.

Why can't she sell the house? Do you have any authority for that?
How would it be different if we were talking about cash and not a house?
in the absence of will, if she sells the house, the money must be split amongst all the kids.

Good evening elders.

A friend of mine needs urgent advice before taking a bold step.

He relocated to south Africa 6 years ago, and since he traveled he has been sending home some amount of money to help his father complete his house.

So last year, unfortunately his father died and has since been buried.

He just arrived from south Africa since then. Now he wants to renovate his fathers house to 3 bedroom flat because he's planning to marry next year, He's not returning to south Africa.

But, his mom declined and said she won't allow him take over the house from her, though he promised to rent an apartment for her but declined.

Now this has caused a lot of problem between the mother and son, because the son claims he built d house to that stage but the mother is claiming she is his mother and the wife to the late owner(father).

He's planning on taking drastic steps which I have advised him against, but he seems not to understand everything I'm saying.

I told him about nairaland, that there are experienced people who will give him d best advise and he's given me a go ahead.

I will be sending these page link to him, so he can hear from d public and then know what to decide.

He needs your sincere advise.

Thanks

Please help us help a brother

Sounds funny and tale to me grin

Which mother would drag property with her son?

Was He building the House for Himself or His Father? What was the discussion between Himself and His Father? If His Father had not died, will He ask the Father to move out into a rented apartment.

This kind of families that value material things over maternal and paternal relationships sef, I no understand.

He needs your sincere advise. Instead of quarreling with his mother which I wouldn't advice, if the land is big enough, he can construct his own flat where he can stay with his future wife, while also accommodating his mother stays in her own house, it's a simple thing, if not just ask him to rent a place outside and stay with his wife.

As a first son he has the right to rent an apartment and renovet the house, after renovation his mother will come back and take one room his sister's take one room and him and the wife takes one room.
The all make use of the sitting room he can't eject the mother nor the sisters, then when the sisters marry the sister's room will be serving as vistors room but he can be making using of the room cos the sisters wunt be coming always.
Untill his mother is nor more he can take possession of his mother's room.he should call his mother and explain to her his plans that after renovation she will come back because she HV full right to the house.

He is a stupid son. If the father was fighting with his own mum on his father's house, will the son have any claim to it? If he want to get married and thinks he is man enough to do so, he should go and rent a house and stay and leave his mother alone.


Exactly, he is a very stupid son. Why be an enemy to his own mother... She has every right over the house na because she is still alive. Even if she dies, d house belongs to him and his sisters, meaning d sisters can visit the house anytime or when suddenly out of marriage which we do not pray for. The best he can do now, is to be a man and go buy his own land n build his own personal land cos that land belongs to him n his sisters after d m dies

He cannot take over the house under any circumstance. The mum owns the house as long as she is alive. He cannot dictate who owns which and what.

Your friend doesn’t know that his first goal in life is to bring honor to his father and mother.
As for me, if I have a house of my own and any of my parents is living in a rented apartments, I’ll consider it a failure as a son.

This is stupidity.

The house belongs to his mother through her husband.
And which means the house will belong to his siblings all the days of their lives.

He is fortunate that they are all females.
The only thing he can do is pray for them to get married so they can go to their husbands houses.

That is the only condition that can get them to leave.
If not, he does not own that house and never will.
