@mr_cjayerus commented:
"Any property owned by a man who is legally married to a woman automatically belongs to the woman at the demise of the man in the absence of a will sharing the properties, in the eyes of the law a couple is one entity, same thing goes at the demise of a woman."

"Yeah I know that there are bad mums but for the son to sue his mum to court shows that he has not been doing well even when the dad was still alive. IF NOT, THE MAN, WILL LEAVE HIS PROPERTIES TO HIS SON TO MANAGE, IF TRULY HE'S WORTHY AND COMPETENT ENOUGH."
From @ugbajaogonna:
"One i heard is the son built the house when he was outside, along the line things got bad when he returned back after the demise of his father, the mother started dragging the property with him. Property he built with his money."

"The mother will surely win."
@ruleyourspace commented:
"He still has money to pay lawyer. Anyways, if l am the mom, l will give him his due. Then write a will excluding him from whatever properties that l own before marrying any man. What of the man that she is marrying? Might be that he is worried that the man is a gold digger."
Uncle threw late man's family out
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady identified as Awola Beatrice cried out in a viral video after their uncle threw them out of their father’s house following the man’s death.
In the clip, the lady with tears in her eyes stated that since her father died on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, the uncle has been mounting big pressure on them, seeking to take over the properties.
The lady, while filming, showed their properties the man threw out. Beatrice, therefore, asked social media users to come to her family’s rescue.
