You are not normal. You are the kind of men we need to start beating. And you are bold to say that you want the properties your wife inherited from her dad registered in your name? Many men in Nigeria arent normal. Seriously, you are top on the list. And see, you will never marry a rich woman who you will kill and start dragging the properties with the children. That woman will be the one that will kill you if your plan is to over power her to claim what she inherited from her father.

You no get shame at all. Na poverty go kill you. I swear. Peoppe like you dont deserve any kind of pity.

Afam4eva:

That's a separate argument altogether. I'm not here to argue whether the man is not useless or whether him selling off the properties is right or wrong. The point here is that the property now belongs to him and whatever he chooses to do with it is his prerogative whether right or wrong.

KiNg0G:

you dey reason like imbecilè

if your daughter married in the future and after her
demise, her husband decides to sell the inheritance
you left her and just to flex anyhow without minding
your grandchildren u go like am?
some of you need sense refill

baby124:

Her properties inherited or purchased before marriage belong to all her heirs. The father does not automatically have full right to it. Those properties acquired during marriage goes to the father with the children having interest too.

Please don't insult people who suffer from mental illness by lopping that one in with them abeg!

Kobojunkie:
A woman is allowed to own her own property even in Nigeria... and since your mother bequeathed her property to you, 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!

Dalil8:


Ok what of now wey una no dey subjugated again? List just one achievement?

All the world problems na still MAN dey solve am... till date.

I no wan ever hear u compare MAN to those bleeding people again. Na only GOD fit compare himself with us. Go siddon one place woman...

You have a mental illness. Get help.

In this scenario, the extended families would fight each other to a stand still. It all depends on who has access to the papers of the properties, shares and bank accounts. (Though bank account would be more complicated).

Remember the children are not of legal age to do anything. It is when they get to the legal age of 18 that they can start fighting for their parents properties, and by then it might be to late. All the properties would have been sold and shared.

baby124:

Those are for people who refuse to fight. Not everybody is weak and take things as God’s will dear. Will they try that nonsense with Fashola or Tinubu’s wife? If you sit back, locusts will eat your inheritance.

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

ChristineC:
is this seriously how the law work in Nigeria?

ChristineC:
so in other words, the relative with the biggest balls take the meat. is this seriously how the law work in Nigeria?

Kobojunkie:
Abeg, how true is the claim made below..

West1side:

According to what law ?

wirinet:


That's what most families goes through, if the spouse dies inter state.

Tkeke:
I would have advised you to be patient with your Dad, so that when he too is gone, you will have access to the said properties. But my problem now is that your Dad is selling or planning to sell off the properties. That means that there might be nothing left for you to inherit. The real owner left them for you, but somebody's son, i.e. your father wants to do otherwise. This is where the problem is. I will advise that you have one on one discussion with him.

Kobojunkie:
Even your customary marriages are expected to be registered at the local government marriage offices, are they not?

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

Maobichek:
That is it, if their marriage is registered and the husband is the next of kin, the son is wasting his time.

Mariangeles:
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I like how you make light of everything.

bjprodint1:
Are u ur mom's next of kin?dont u av other siblings cos it seems u are d only one fighting 4 properties.uncle,go and hustle so dat u can leave properties for ur wife.or is it ur mom's properties u want 2 leave 4 ur wife and kids?

GraciousGod190:

ChristineC:
so you are saying if a the wealthy man and wife have a family lawyer (of course there will be one), and dies inter state, the powers of this lawyer is totally useless to his client's surviving children?

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.





Hi OP,
Who's your mother's next of kin between your father or you? i means if it is documented. If you have papers to claim this then you can seek the help of a family lawyer but if there is no such thing as a WILL written by your mother while alive then i'll imply you to share this properties btw you and your father in a well agreed contract documention bearing in mind that he has equal righ to his wife's property just like you do.

Stay blessed.
