Do you know the posters Mother and female family members? Or you just wanna be rude, uncouth and vindictive..

I don’t need to know to them. Does he know me or you are just plain stupid?

Trojan8:



• If a person dies leaving a spouse but no issue the spouse is entitled to the entire
residuary estate. Where there is a surviving spouse and children the spouse is entitled to
only the “personal chattels” such as moveable possessions but not money of the
deceased husband and a statutory legacy such as the ''Fixed Net Sum of £270,000 plus
interest from the date of death of her deceased husband as contained in order 2020 of
AEA 1925''. If there is a residuary estate it would be equally divided between the spouse
and all the children on 50%-50% basis. Before the enactment of ITPA 2014, the
spouse’s 50% residue was held on a life interest trust for her.

You are going off point here. We are talking about inherited property and not personal properties acquired with one's own efforts.

wirinet:


Spouses don't have automatic legal rights to inherited property.

There's nothing that WILLS it to the op though, so he has no rights to claim them for himself. At the end of the day, a competent law court would share same inheritance to all parties involved. I am done with this.

You could also take your time to look at what the person that I quoted replied to, and how he conveniently picked a part of it. That would do you a lot of good.

you sound fustrated son, I actually love that op response to fustrated beings like you.

Dear men, Kindly consult your wife when drafting your will. Remember dead men can't do nothing. If your spouse is not comfortable with your will she can contest it in court and guess what she will most likely win. Those who have ears let them hear. Go and ask the Ojukwu's. They learnt this lesson the hard way. Tribal sentiments and customs cannot supersede the law of the land. Always remember ignorance is not a defense in the court of law.

It depends on who she's using as her next of kin or if she has a will, that will be better, incase of no will, the next of kin will be the one to claim the property.

... What is that proverb about.... Blablaba killed his father, will also Kee him



just saying oh!

I don't know why you are insisting on a point of argument that has no legal basis whatsoever. Do you intend to inherit your wife's father's properties?

Kobojunkie:
Are you by any chance a legal practitioner?

I'm not.

Kobojunkie:
So then why are folks saying it should go to the OP'S father then?

At what point and under what conditions does inherited property become marital property?

I'm not among those saying it should go to op's father.

Ojukwu's case is still in court as we speak. Ojukwu willed his properties to his wife Bianca and children, but his siblings sued him saying the properties are family properties and cannot be willed to a third party since their father died intestate.

Poverty dey worry you. A man who has built his house is who you wan turn to baby cos the property belongs to his mom. Na poverty. Go for deliverance.

if na poverty I for add my aza below the comment nd beg for 2k.

I thought it's only polygamy that use to have this type family issue....

Well, most people don't prepare for death and no one knows when... Islam dealt with the issue of inheritance judiciously..

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.

Nigerian Men educate yourself. Ojukwu family is in a mess right now because the family members were banking on traditions and customs to wrestle ownership of strategic assets from Bianca's grip. God bless Bianca's Dad who gave her quality education. The Ojukwu's were stunned when they realized that they couldn't bully this woman.

Dear Naija men educate your daughters. Being a sperm donor is not enough. Women have seen hell in Nigeria because we believe that they should have no say in matters related to inheritance and will. Let's change this please. By law, when a partner dies intestate, the surviving spouse is entitled to 50% the assets before considering any bastard. Those you supporting the OP can please show me where the woman willed the properties to him? What manner of satanic entitlement is this ?

You are pretending to be deaf, dumb and blind. We are talking about inherited property and not properties acquired by the husband or wife through their own efforts.

Its not right that Ojukwu using the same customs appropriated all their fathers properties for himself, and now that he has died, wants to will the same properties to his new lovely wife. What about his brothers and sisters and their children? They too carry the Ojukwu blood, are they too not entitled to some of Louis Ojukwus inheritance?

simpleseyi:


Just the same way you are fighting your father for properties, you are also fighting anybody that has s contrary opinion to your prodigality

Stop supporting Rubbish. What stop them from making such demands when Ojukwu was alive? They thought they could bully Bianca same way the OP is attempting to Bully his Father. Educate the girl child. I can't advocate this enough. Our women are going through hell because of useless old men hiding under customs and traditions.

OP just like fake Naija pastors will always ask, Do I know you Before? Have I met you Before? Open your ears and Listen to me now... Don't let Nairalanders send you to prison oooh. If you assault your Dad over this property that his lovely wife left for him you will go to jail. Let the man mourn his wife in peace. Some of this properties are what reminds him of his lovely wife. Don't be a bad child. If he choose to sell it it's not your business. Go and build your own house.

Mr OP, assuming it is other way round what will you do?
I mean supposing the properties belong to your dad and your dad passed away will you be dragging it with your mom?
Well, the only contentious issue I see here is your dad trying to sell off the properties and according to you spending the money on frivolities, you can get someone to speak to him and let him realize that it is not proper to sell those properties, and you can even ask him why he didn't sell it when your mom was around.
But finally without any ulterior intention, I perceive that your house isn't in order because if it is, your dad and mom would have been profiting together in those properties to the point where you children may not even know who owns what, before your mom passed away, but pls find a way to settle this amicably.

BRATISLAVA:


According to Nigerians laws, it belongs to his father now. Unless he decides to teach the man a lesson.

According to which Nigerian laws?

Whoever is in the woman's records as Next of Kin is the owner of the property, and most women have their children listed as NoK

The father is just a shameless opportunist. He should go and find the property his own mother left for him.

Mindlog:


As long as your mother's marriage to your father was legally recognized, him being the surviving spouse, you and your siblings will all be beneficiaries.

Get a lawyer involved.

Don't be stvpid, don't tell the world that you're not educated, please.


When a married man dies, his properties are automatically transferred and managed by his wife. Why will the situation be different if a married woman dies?


Please, stop disgracing yourself.

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

If the properties belonged to the father the mother would not be the owner, it would be passed down to the children

Stop telling lies here.

The only time the mother would have claimed anything as her own, is if the children were minors.

The real thief here is the father that wants to start selling off someone's inheritance. Property that the mother did not sell, that is what the man wants to sell.

Who gave him that right?

No, the estates belongs to the surviving spouse if the dead died intestate.

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.

Was there any pre-nuptial agreement between your father and your late mother? Do you know about such an agreement? Did your mother wrote any will stating that her pre marital properties belong to her children to be? Are you born out of wedlock? I am talking about law not sentiments

My father no fit try this thing with me him sef know, sha him get him own wealth, I get my own wealthy... just find lawyer baba

Your mother's property belongs more to your father than you except under two conditions. 1..if your dad was not legally married to your mother or were divorced 2...if your mother willed the property to you.
