Hmmm, The question is not the house or who built it.

Is the land a family land or a land in the city and in whose name is the title document. This person has a strong claim.

Assuming the father died intestate, who are the executors of the his estate cos in any event they are the ones to manage what he left behind.

Thirdly its very unlikely that any judge will give him judgment against his mother especially if that is a family house i.e. where they all grew up.

Lastly he needs to give his mother peace in her old age not rancor and tears cos those tears are like curses.

Let him be guided.

It seems he is concerned that his mom might sell it off and keep all the money for herself. It is a valid concern seem he footed the bill for the house.

He should discuss the ownership of the house with her and allow her to live in it. He should have clarified ownership ever seems he sent the first one naira to his father.

I also have a friend who is finishing up his father’s house, That’s was the first thing i asked him to discuss with his mum. The woman confirmed she is leaving the house to him, with peace of mind he is currently pumping in millions to renovate the whole house but he can’t sell it while his mother is alive, like some posters rightfully stated; its a family house as long as his mother is still alive.

Good evening elders.

A friend of mine needs urgent advice before taking a bold step.

He relocated to south Africa 6 years ago, and since he traveled he has been sending home some amount of money to help his father complete his house.

So last year, unfortunately his father died and has since been buried.

He just arrived from south Africa since then. Now he wants to renovate his fathers house to 3 bedroom flat because he's planning to marry next year, He's not returning to south Africa.

But, his mom declined and said she won't allow him take over the house from her, though he promised to rent an apartment for her but declined.

Now this has caused a lot of problem between the mother and son, because the son claims he built d house to that stage but the mother is claiming she is his mother and the wife to the late owner(father).

He's planning on taking drastic steps which I have advised him against, but he seems not to understand everything I'm saying.

I told him about nairaland, that there are experienced people who will give him d best advise and he's given me a go ahead.

I will be sending these page link to him, so he can hear from d public and then know what to decide.

He needs your sincere advise.

Thanks

Please help us help a brother

Best advice is to go back sa

Number one is I understand that he felt maybe he's broke or he didn't have much on him and now he wants to get married.

The things is as far as the mama is alive he needs to forget about that house for now.....as hurt as this might sound he needs to rent an apartment somewhere and stay there....for crying out loud you can't ask your mum to leave her husband house and go to a rentage house just to satisfy you.... I knw because you're about to start your own family you will either rent a one bedroom apartment or two and that will be expensive but all that ought to have been in your plan before returning to Nigeria.

Asking your mum to pack out of a house you renovate or completed for them is a NO NO NO GO AREA. What if when u left for southie They didn't have a home and you decide to build a house for them from scratch and u wants to get married will you ask both of them to pack out.


brother check am, reason am and put yourself for thier shoes.

For comfort and peace to reign pls and pls get an apartment and try and get yourself a house...no matter how much you don spend for the house as far nah your paleee start the foundation, your mumsy is still the number one in that house until she seize to breathe AS A YORUBA GUY PLEASE RESPECT HER PLS

Even if u assited Ur father in building the house, so Ur sisters and mother should go and rent house so u can bring a woman in to enjoy Ur father's sweat and labour alone.

Sorry for your friend.

As long as the property is in his late father's name, the property remains a family property. The mother does not even have the absolute right to it under the English laws, but she is the chief custodian of the property for and on behalf of the family.

Your friend has to look for a property elsewhere. It would have been different if the property was in his name but under the late father's care.

By the way, are we talking about his mother? Or his father's wife?

In issues of the estate of a dead person who died without making a Will, I believe that wife comes before children. Therefore, his father's house remains a family property until the mum dies. That he sent the money used in building the house does not change anything.

Why would an only son be "dragging" a property with his mother? It is their family house.

Please tell your friend that he must be a very STUPID person to want to drive his mum away from her late husband's house. He should go and rent an Apartment for himself and his new family when he gets married and leave the old woman alone in her husband's house

With all the money he made in Southy, he can't get a property of his own?

By the way, was it willed to him?

South east and south south the first son own everything in the absence of a will or the father sharing the property orally when he is alive, south west, the house is shared equally among the children both male and female.

But as far as the mum is alive, she have a right to live in her husband house till infinity

He can't evict his mother and his sisters from the house, the house belonged to her late husband and his sisters have a right to live in their father's house till they get married.

100%. To think he wants to rent a house for his mum shows hes not even concerned for his mum and sisters. The first son is shacking him like alcohol. Thats her husband's house na. He should get out and go rent house and live with his bride joor.

Law is different from common sense

Law . The first port of call is the title does the house have a title?
Assuming it is and is in the name of the deceased
The next question is what type of marriage did they have ?
Registry, Traditional or Islamic
Next did the deceased leave a WILL

1. Will present= follow the will or go to court to challenge the will

2. No Will
a) Registry Marriage, I believe the wife is the legal heir(ess)
b) Traditional Marriage. The wife has no claim whatsoever in Yorubaland if the man has children then they inherit everything though court may exercise discretion
c) Islamic........I no know book oooo

He should be reasonable. He cannot live with his wife in his father's house. In Yoruba land it is not respecting and befitting. If he choose to live in his father's house then the family will choose to move out. Does he want his family to stay on the street?
My advice is that he should rent a room and parlour and live there with his wife to be rather than to live with them in the family house or sending them out into the street
Re: Mother Or First Son, Who Is Entitled To The Late Father's Property by bolabadmus38: 7:20pm On Aug 09, 2021
Your biological mother? Not reasonable at all. He should not even come out of his mouth. Dragging your father's property with your biological mother is a taboo.its even a price to him that he completed his Dad's house but no to send his mum out. He should go an get a house for himself and live the poor woman alone.
