As soon as you are WILLING to.
The circumstances around you may help you determine eg. If you are a polygamist you should write it immediately you marry the second wife

Reasons Many Nigerians Avoid Writing Wills:

1. Cultural Beliefs & Superstition
Many people believe writing a will invites death or bad luck. Some fear that planning for death may “bring it closer.”

2. Denial of Mortality
A lot of young people (and even older ones) don’t want to think about death. They believe “I’m still young, there’s time.”

3. Lack of Assets (or the Perception of It)
Some think they don’t have enough property or money to justify writing a will. But a will isn’t just about property — it’s about structure, clarity, and peace of mind.

4. Fear of Family Drama
Some worry that writing a will might stir up tension or suspicion in the family. Others don’t trust that their wishes will be respected even if documented.

5. Ignorance or Lack of Legal Access
Many don’t know how or where to start. Some believe it’s only for the super-rich or those with lawyers.

Why Writing a Will Early is Smart:

✅ It protects your spouse, children, and dependents.
✅ It prevents family conflict or legal battles.
✅ It gives you peace of mind.
✅ It helps allocate not just assets, but guardianship, debts, digital assets, etc.
✅ You can update it anytime — it's not final forever.

Na person wey get money dey write Will .. me I just dey pray make Alhaji put me for his Will make I inherit 5% of DIL .. funny enough big men fit die of debts , but because they form corporations, their debts are limited to the corporations. Most of them don't have anything in their name sef . So nothing to inherit just allocation of so so numbers of shares.

Ode, so you're praying to die before your mum?. Na waa

A will becomes necessary once you start acquiring properties and starting a family. However, a Will is not enough especially for Nigerians who live abroad. Put your assets in a Trust so that when you go, your debt won’t be transferred to your family.

Na when money dey person dey write Will,will no be about property and funds?

I will write them when I have gather enough properties.

I don't need a will cos i married under the act. My wife gets everything after my passing.

From 50 is okay, even if you'll live for another 50 years

I spend upto 1hr on the bed thinking about this in the morning. Booom! The topic. Hence the thread is specifically for me.
I have decided to write my Will though I have made a verbal pronouncement to trusted friend and close families.
I want to be around long enough to see my children excel on their own.
I want to Will my share of this world to humanity.
