Legal Advice Needed On Family Land Issue by phranco(m): 4:03pm On Dec 18, 2021
Please lawyers and experienced people on property/land matters, your knowledge is needed on this.
If a father sold his landed property that he bought with his money, without the approval/consent of his 1st and 2nd son, but his 3rd and 4th son consented and signed as witnesses. Is it lawful for the first son to reclaim/revoke the property through the court after the father is dead. Does the 1st and 2nd son have the legal right to sue the buyer to court to reclaim the fathers property because they did not consent before he sold it?

I have been having this argument with a friend for long. He said that it is a MUST that the 1st son in any family must sign before his father must sell any of his property, if not that the son has the legal right to reclaim the property when the man is gone.
I want you people to educate me on this issue, thank you.

I don't have any legal knowledge however, if the father bought the property with his money, it is nobody's business what he chooses to do with it. The 1st and 2nd son should go work for their money and any attempt to encroach someone else's property will only land them behind bars.

The property belongs to the father and can sell without the involvement of his children and in this case his sons.

If a man has willingly sold his property, his sons have no legal right to sue the buyer(s) to court to reclaim the property. The father owns the property not theirs rather they should go hustle for their own.

The sense of entitlement is sickening!

Imagine what this lazy guy is bringing up here. The owner of the land has sold his property, and that's what it is. Bros, you and your brother should go and hustle for your own.
