Next of kin has no basis. It's just someone that can be contacted if the owner is not reachable or deceased. I can use your name as next of kin but will the same land to an orphanage.

Yes, a written will overrides that. But be sure to know that everything is contestable in the court to ensure that when the will was written the person was in good mental frame.

Your first comment calling your husband 'this man' shows u r overreacting and worry from bad advise.

You have kids, even if your name is not on his will, your kids name are so y worried?

me too i shocked when i see "this man"

I am legally married to this man and we have 3 sons together. Recently he purchased some land which he actually told me about but when I checked the documents of all the land I only saw Mr(his name in full) and not Mr & Mrs (his name and surname) or Mr (his name ) and Mrs (My name ). This really gave me great concern and when I asked him, he told me it doesn't really count because the properties also belong to my children. Later he started accusing me that I am nursing ulterior motive in my heart and maybe I want to take over the properties which is blantly lies. I just want to feel ownership of the land too

Please am I overreacting on this issue truly or my husband is planning something behind me ( maybe remarrying)

Yes, you are over reacting and Yes, he is right to accuse you of nursing interior motive. You appear to be already preparing that you will inherit him when he dies, you appear to be planning to make him die first while you take charge, or you praying that he should be the first to die. Those are the meaning of your attitudes. So far he is your husband, the lands belongs to you by default. What will you now do if he use one of the children as next of kin and not your name? Haba madam, take it easy. You even call your husband, this man. Na wa o. Only God knows where wives of nowadays got their training from.

Your husband will now suspect every moves you make and may even exclude you from his will. You have showed a very bad character as a wife that want her husband dead. You attitude will hit you had in that marriage.
