How?

Really

I don't agree at all

If I wasn't born, do you think those property would be accessible to him?
Because he married my mother.
It would have been passed down to the closest relative of my mother kindreds

Kobojunkie:
Get yourself a good lawyer and stand your ground. Don't allow any of the effort your mother made to ensure the property ended up in your hands go to waste.

The keyword here is ceremony! Are both parties competent? Were there witnesses? Was it documented, either paper, photos and/or video? If these requirements were met then no court in Nigeria would deny that the union is valid, fornication no longer exists once dowry is accepted, the rest na packaging.

abbey621:
It doesn't work that way, he would need to show that she specifically willed it to him, if not then whatever property the mom owned belongs the dad by virtue of marriage. if there are no documentation to prove she willed it to her offsprings then most court will side with the living spouse.

As much as I hate bringing this here, I need advice on ways to go about this..is it right for a father to drag his wife wealth with his son, knowing fully well, the son is now a grown man.

My mom left us with lot of properties she acquired as inheritance from her father and mother side, been the only surviving child, while she was still around some relatives wanted to grab some of it...claiming she's a woman...but seeing she had a grown up son which was me they had to maintain and stay on their lane... besides my mom was never the sluggish type.

Now, my dad is trying to drag this property with me, saying he wants to sell some of the land without even informing me... he his claiming some of house rents and lavishing it on frivolities anyhow.

Yes he's my father, he trained me up to this stage that I am, but by right I thought Those properties are mine already.since it's inheritance that's supposed to be passed down to her offsprings.....if am wrong please someone should tell me.

PeaceJoyLove:

No, I meant in the case that the marriage was undocumented, then OP will be it.

I am on OP's team here as I don't want His grandparent's wealth instead going to paying for his father's lavish lifestyle.

Most of those properties go to the man’s kids. Even in Yoruba land, they divide the properties with wives and children equally. In fact in most cases it’s the children that get it but the mother is entitled to her husbands house where they lived till she dies and is entitled to be taken care of till she dies. She no get right to sell anything without all her children agreeing. They only get away with such when the children are very young. When they become like 18 and above, forget it. The parents cannot do anything on family property without their agreement.

baby124:

The father does NOT own the mother. Only married to her. That marriage can be dissolved in divorce and then what? He goes away with the properties her father gave her because he paid N100 naira. You people are funny. E get which kind families you people try that nonsense ownership rubbish with sha.

GraciousGod190:
Note: I own my own personal house, I build with my money..am not a small boy...so those abusing am fighting over parental inheritance are getting it wrong

ChuksHills:


It seems like you lack manners assuming you know who you are talking to you wouldn't be fooling around.

My wife's property belongs to me and my property belongs to my wife. The mother of the guy is dead and she has no brother or sister automatically the property now belongs to the husband so it the choice of the husband to either sell it or pass over to the son and not for the son to side line his father from his wife property or dragging property with his father.

Drone95:
Ur papa knw more about the property than you ! Just talk to him,he should sell the property and share it 60/40. No long story.

Read well, I did not say the man is dragging it with his son... It legitimately and legally belongs to the man... What ever belongs to the man also belongs to the woman of he his no more and what ever belongs to the woman also belongs to the man if she is no more...

The son has absolutely no right to be claiming his father is dragging, how will the man be dragging what is his by right...

Its just like saying the woman was relieved from work with a very big severance pay, or the woman got a windfall from somewhere or anywhere and then the woman is no more, the son will now be claiming its belongs to the mother and not the father so he should inherit it... Nonsense. In as much as the husband is alive, he owns the legal right to his wife's estate no matter how humongous it is... Had it being the woman even willed it to him, it would have being another case entirely... But in the absence, the father reigns supreme over his wife's estate...

When have you known Nigerians to believe they aren't immortal?

His father owns the property. Too bad for him. Unless he decides to teach the man a lesson. That's the law.

GraciousGod190:

When issues like this are raised, people like you who don't have anything meaningful to contribute other than to abuse will start creeping out from your swampy holes... like bush rats in mangrove deserts.

For your info, I own 2 apartments already... personal I build with my money...not everyone is as lazy as your father.

Even if its #10 dowry he paid, it's is accepted as a valid exchange paid on the head of the woman. And the man must get is #10 back if they divorce...

Legally the man owns the right to his wife's estate after she is gone, the son will own or have the right to the estate only when both father and mother, husband and wife are no more...

Or are you trying to tell me if the wife inherits her husband's estate, the son will tell the mother the properties belong to his late dad and the mother should no drag it with him... Useless lazy son... This son has the relative mentality, he can take his fathers estate and trow out his mother...

Kobojunkie:
Na the mama cause am anyways. So this man has to now hope the father collapses before everything is gone. Na wa oo!

Owologbo:

The father is not entitled to anything.
The mother didn't buy those properties , but inherited them from her parents.
It's only the children that can inherit such properties.
Assuming the lady no born for the man, Shay the mother family will take back their properties?

simpleseyi:


You are a thief. Ole ni e. The properties belong to your father, not you prodigal son.

If the properties were originally your father's properties, your mum will claim them as her own. It should be same now that the properties are originally your mum's

Kobojunkie:
Are you serious?

So, if the woman's family can reclaim it in that case, why can't they do something in this case?

KiNg0G:
junkie agbeg go sleep, nor be only you dey read this thread

your comments dey disturb people

Kobojunkie:

So, if the woman's family can reclaim it in that case, why can't they do something in this case?

Owologbo:

They can't reclaim it because of the children.

baby124:

Only properties acquired during marriage belong to the couple. Not properties before marriage or inherited properties.
