Mizwisdom:



Accept my sympathy. The property is her entitlement as she is his wife. I think she's scared about being sidelined or maybe he told her to ask for it through dream. But what was the cause of his death?

he was witchcraftly killed

frixie:
Traditional and Church wedding, No registry right?

no registry

Pavore9:
If they had a registry wedding, she has legal backing and if she is truly pregnant and proven that your late brother is the father after she births, your family can't wish her away.

Your family should go it traditional, get her family involved because it is very wrong at every level to be demanding the material belongings of your late brother.

thank you for your advice

mankettle:
1. if they married in registry she is the legal wife so she is entitled to her portion of his estate, this is not limited to whether she is pregnant or not. the only catch is, if she is found culpable in his death, then she is not entitled to anything as one cannot benefit from his wrong.
2. if it is only traditional, she is entitled to his estate still based on the customs of the village. also if she is pregnant, then you have to wait for the birth also as he too is entitled to his or her Papa's estate.. PS. it's over 4 months she must be showing

they did traditional and white marriage, but he died 3 days after they got wedded

SageMK:
Does your late brother have a valid will?
Everything rest on what his will reads if he does.

If there's no valid will, then there's nothing stopping her from claiming what is legally hers. Unless their wedding was a traditional one — this will nullify her claim. Damn.

His wife should be properly investigated.
She's the chief suspect.

my late brother doesn't have a valid will

Did the wedding happen in January or May?

it happened in April, last month

please my fellow nairalander, i need your advice..

My late brother who based in Indonesia, came back to the village earlier this year January to get married to his lover but died three days after he got wedded, before this scenario, he was strongly advice by some villagers not to get married to the girl, but went on deaf ears. the girl who is now a suspect of having a hand in my brother's death, is now demanding for my late brother's property 7 days after his death, thou there is a rumor that she is pregnant for my brother. please i need advice on how to handle this, thank you all

He will surely escape

Any way..kudos the loader...
