Can I Sue My Father For Selling Our Inheritance, His Properties Anyhow? by Born2winKingOG: 10:49am On Apr 23, 2022
I Know how odd this might sound, with alot of people trooping in to insult me with all sorts of names calling, like I should go and hustle for my own and stop having entitlement mindset on someone's else's property..but you see..I will never relent..am here for those who have logical advise to give to me...so your insults is for yourself and you alone.

My father has been selling his landed properties since 2006, since I was still a little boy.. my fore fathers were among those founders who discovered our town...so huge landed estates were passed down to our lineage...up to this moment my uncle's and aunts have their own share of land intacts... but my dad has almost sold All his own.


*He sold to marry a new wife in 2009



*He sold to develop a small plot in 2011



*he sold to collect a chieftaincy title in 2015


and many combined little selling he's been doing, I had no ideal of


fast forward to 7years later he's left with little plots and some he took from loan defaulters, just this morning I got a call from my elder sister that my dad is about selling the little plot left... I asked to do what, she said she doesn't know yet. As at now am really angry hence me asking if there's anything we the children can do to stop my dad from selling the little plots left even though it's his.. he's the owner, don't we have a say? isn't there any legal law that can stop him.

A friend of mine he's Still enjoying wealth his grand Father left for his father and his father to him, all he did was just to renovate them and dude is packing more than a millionaire yearly from those estate. why would mine be different. Davido did well because his father's a big man who gave him a starting point, same with jowi zaza that guy can never go broke because of his father...

note: I don't think he's trying to wicked us, I know he won't sell all.. but at least the one he had sold his more than the one left... and it won't be enough to share to my siblings and I.... if he leaves this world today... why would he still be selling more. ( am not praying for him to die or anything...but life is common sense) is not a bad thing if a parent gives his children a starting point like his father did.

Besides it doesn't make sense for me to be looking for land to buy when my family is known as one of the owners of the town...my cousin's are even talking behind our back.

legal advice needed please

Hmm. Sit that man down and talk to him, he would want to continue to sell the land but your word will always torment and ring on his ears. If he has conscience left, he'll rethink or replan his dealings on those properties.

undecided try and show him the value of the land he sold before and what the value is now, maybe you can convince him that that way.

Sadly, since it was inherited by him specifically. He can sell it all and nothing you can do about it. That’s the problem, people get lazy once they get an inheritance. Especially the ones that don’t have any plans for their lives. Till the land is finished he won’t stop. He will still come and demand money from you don’t worry. You are his back up when he doesn’t have any more money.

You can't sue someone for his property. The case will be struck out for no cause of action.

Your father owns valid titles to the real properties through first settlement. Put differently, he bought the plots of land from nobody but inherited it customarily as a descendant of those who settled there first.

I presume based on the preceding paragraph that the land documents are not registered at the land registry of your state because from experience the first document descendants of first settlers prepare regarding their land is usually a deed of gift, deed of lease, deed of assignment or power of attorney depending on the circumstances.

My advice is that you should get very close to your father this period. Let everyone believe you are his favourite son. Show him how to enjoy the internet with a smartphone. Encourage him to eat wheat instead of Garri or Akpu or Amala etc.... You know all those things his mates like grin

During this period, learn his signature, prepare a deed of gift and get your close allies including your sister as witnesses. It's even better if you can make him sign the paper himself through misrepresentation (This is a special course I can tutor you on).
Register the deed of gift at the appropriate registry and pay the required dues to the government registry. To be more smooth get registered surveyors to survey the land and register the survey plans with the government in your name.

You have all commercial banks need to grant you a loan. When you've successfully mortgaged the properties, use that money to do something good for yourself.
BENEFITS
1. Your father will not be able to sell a land you mortgaged to the bank. The bank will take him to court and deed of gift you presented to the bank will be a superior title.
2. The bank will not own the land as long as you invested the loan wisely and follow the repayment plan honestly.
3. After the expiration of each mortgage, begin new mortgages to further expand your investments. But ensure you always repay your loan.
4. Your father will pass on while the case lingers in the court. I trust NIGERIAN courts (15 years no judgment just adjournments)
5. When he passes on, end all mortgages and keep the land if you wish.
DISADVANTAGES
If you believe in curses don't try this. I do not believe in them grin

convince him to stop selling...no provision for you to sue him for managing his wealth the way he chooses.

if you doubt me...then go and get a lawyer and waste your time and resources

Logically it's his property and he hasn't willed it to his children (pls verify).
At this point, focus on yourself and your unborn children so you can have estates for them to inherit.
From personal experience, property breaks the fabric of family ties quicker than anything in this world; don't hold on to it if it's not yours. Just get your own thing and maintain your lane.

My advice is, if you have some money go and meet him and buy some plot and also ask him to give you some plot as is son, with these method you can acquire the land at a cheaper rate, if not that man no go stop oooo until he sell everything finish at the end of the day he will blame it on the Devil and still ask for forgiveness from you...and you have no choice than to forgive him.

At least he sold the lands for valid reasons. Not like he's squandering the money

thanks for this.
but if I approached him to buy, he might look it as disrespect because we've quarreled about this several times. and if I went to him to give me I want to build now, when am not financially ready yet, it might lead another thing. I know he might agree but my other siblings from his other wives may kick against it asking for theirs.

It's only your traditional rulers that can call your father to order. There are rules regarding sales of family lands especially to strangers from other communities.

If they do nothing, then there is nothing you can do except plan with your siblings to buy some of the properties from him.

Your father is emotionally detached from his children...very common with polygamists.

Omo op this your thread dey very funny I swear. You are worried about your old man selling his investments to raise cash, you should rather be concerned about making money to help him acquire more properties. Shalom

You can if he has already written a will making you a beneficiary. Let me check my law books to know the position of law to that effect.

I stand to be corrected though.

N.B: Parents should hand a tool of survival to their children, not the other way round.
