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

Kobojunkie:
No, I am being serious....that guy is not one of us.

simpleseyi:


You are a thief. Ole ni e. The properties belong to your father, not you prodigal son.

If the properties were originally your father's properties, your mum will claim them as her own. It should be same now that the properties are originally your mum's

Kobojunkie:
And it was my first time doling out an e-slap. That was about the only response I could think of for that crock of bull!
ROFLMAO

Studymore123:
In Nigeria, the Wills Act, various wills laws of the states govern testate succession.

She died intestate and the question as to who inherits what is determined by law, either through customary law, Islamic law, State laws or the Administration of Estate Law.
Generally, the surviving spouse together with the children of the deceased stand at the apex of the hierarchy of the beneficiaries of the wealth of a person who dies intestate.

However, the OP said the Mom inherited the properties. Which means she didn't acquire the properties while in marriage. The son is supposed to be the heir of the properties.

Such properties "could" also become marital properties depending on some factors. It's not easy getting the full picture with such a simple writeup. Last last both of them should sit and discuss, if no agreement, involve family members, if no agreement, involve the chieftains, if no agreement, let the courts pronounce judgement and set precedence.

wirinet:
False. If your mother did not will her property to her husband, he cannot claim it. A husband (as well as other members of the wife's family) can only fight for his wife's family if she died inter state. Then customs and traditions will come in to settle property sharing. At OP. If you don't want your father to exhibit any property you legally inherited from your mother, contact a competent lawyer. He will first issue a cease and desist letter to your father and if he does not obey, institute legal proceedings. But then, you should be prepared for the backlash from him and his side of the family. They will first blackmail you and then disown you.

Mariangeles:

I didn't recognize you back there.
I had to check again to be sure it was your moniker.

immortalcrown:
Your house is not in order. This is all I can say now.

[s]But by right, your father is most entitled to your mother and her property, just as you will be most entitled to your wife's property.[/s]

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.

Mariangeles:
Hahahahahahahahaaahahahahahahahshaha

How would we classify his case bayi?

Kobojunkie:
I didn't know where it came from..... all i knew is it had to be a slap

wirinet:

Its never that easy. You know that we live in a very polygamous or polyamourous society. Most marriages have some complications, with the man having multiple wives or baby mamas. Or even women having children outside of their legally married husvands. So how do you divide properties if a spouse dies without a will using only common law, or even in the case of divorce. Are all the children and wives not entitled to a portion of their fathers wealth?

If your mum had made a will passing over her property to you then you have every right over the property.

However, if she didn't die interstate you may need a Lawyer, trusted lawyer, to interprete the Law and he will advise you on what to do.

Trojan8:


Stories. Without a will, the husband is the next of kin.

Trojan8:


There's no will here, and the next of kin where there's a legal marriage is the spouse.

nencounter10:
They should be. Whether registered or not, a marriage done according to legal and constitutional provision is valid.

People hardly register customary marriages because you need to provide proof that a marriage occurred before you can register it. People just don't go through the stress.

I can't count the number of divorce cases of traditionarily married people I have read on nairaland. You can't end a marriage that never existed.

Kobojunkie:
His case no dey DSM abeg... He is not one of the.

abbey621:
Haaaa....then those one are in for a long thing . Since early 2000s, churches and mosques have been briefed on the new requirements, witnesses and documentation is a MUST!

Mariangeles:
I'll review his case, then get back to you.

If I can't find the diagnosis, I'll come up with something.

DigitalStepdad:
Wetin person no go hia for nigeria self...



But as a man I will be ashamed to fight for my wife's properties with my children unless...

Kobojunkie:
But if not registered, then the son should pursue the angle in court?

Gospel2Day:


Why are some men so shameless that they want to inherit what belongs to the family of their wives?
The property is not what the wife worked hard to acquire.
She inherited it from her parents.
I think it is an irresponsible man that would want to inherit such property.
Can you see why families don't want to let their female daughters share in their inheritance?
Because they know their husbands will acquire the inheritance.
As a responsible man you should have enough dignity and self-respect NOT to touch any property that your wife inherited.
That is covetousness and stealing by stealth.
Shalom.

Qatar2022:
Even when he want to sell those properties? Shut up please
