KiNg0G to his useless homosexual father and his spermbank wh0re mother:
once again quiet your smelling mouth there, op came here to seek a better advice from learned folks...not hypocrites like you who got no logical point of reasoning...other than criticising, abusing and disgracing your generations online.

This mindset is the reasons many see marriage as a sham

By marriage all that belongs to the wife is the husband's and all the belongs to the husband's his wife

This are hard truths but we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth

pocohantas:


The problem here is, I suspect your parents never had a peaceful marriage. Probably your dad was abusive in one or two ways, hence your willingness to drag property with him. You should get a lawyer.

Someone just said children take over inherited properties. Lucky you!

GraciousGod190:
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.

Order of inheritance is first the surviving spouse
Before the kids

The spouse comes before the kids

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.

Ishilove:

The imagery! You paint pictures with words so beautifully.

Kobojunkie:
A woman is allowed to own her own property even in Nigeria... and since your mother bequeathed her property to your, your father has no right to touch any of it unless he can legally prove ownership was handed him by your mother instead.

Don't let anyone deceive you with lies.. stand your ground. Get a good lawyer and don't let your father waste what belongs to you abeg!

I would have thought same too. I was surprised to read that inheritance is for kids. Does this apply to widows too?

Richy4:
I can't just imagine one taking his dad to court over his wife's properties especially when there's no other family or another wife and children somewhere else...

After all is said and done, whatever he has will still fall back to you.. If u are doing very well, just concentrate on what u are doing...

I might be saying this because I'm not the type that worry about properties/ inheritance.. I love my peace of mind a lot...

I will suggest that you follow the peace version.. Ask him what his pressing need where that lead him into selling those properties... He's your dad and he is your mum's husband first before she became your mother... You sounded like you were doing well for your self, so follow the ways of peace...

pocohantas:


Na your own be that? Tell am to give im papa small something to use hold body.

Anonymous29:


I am suspecting the op isn’t telling the whole story because how can father and son have issues over this.
It is possible there were issues before the mom’s passing.
The father may have other kids from another woman.
The op said he his doing well himself so he doesn’t need those properties per say he just doesn’t want his dad to have them.

The story dey one kind!

Some families that I read about online sometimes makes me feel grateful to God... Father and son fighting over properties... Hmmm!!!
Abeg my brother, make I go reflect more and watch and see when he go resurrect.. I no wan miss am

xtivin:
By culture if your dad paid your mum dowry, he owns everything she own except there is a will before demise. I advice OP to trend carefully and avoid shaking unnecessary tables. Drink water from your own cistern.

Kobojunkie:
That dowry system seems nothing but a trap set against women in marriage.

eyinjuege:
Stand firm for your inheritance sha.
Get a lawyer to look after the property. Since you don't need the money from the rent, let them be giving him the rent or you share it with him- just take a lower percentage
Don't allow him sell the property though. That's where you should draw the line

Mindlog:
To prevent the father from selling, the OP has the option of getting the court to get the father to undergo mental capacity assessment. Relatives do such to block the liquidation of inheritance on frivolities especially by an elderly beneficiary who may be externally influenced.

As long as the deceased is also survived by offspring (s) and of adult age, the surviving spouse can not unilaterally choose what to do in administering the Estate of the deceased.

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
