Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nigeria
Personal property
Good morning
I am not sure is your legal firm deals with this or not, I need to find
out who can apply for administrator rights over my father's properties
here in Nigeria as my father has passed away? How much does it cost? How
long does it take to process the application?
Thank you
Nkem

Re: Personal property
Further to your inquiries,Kindly accept my condolence on the demise of your father. I assume your father died intestate(without a will). this means you need to apply for a letter of administration at the high court where your father was domiciled. Your family would need to appoint members of the family that would administer the estate and the forms will be issued. The cost of obtaining the letter will be based on the size your fathers estate. Please let me know if you need our assistance to process the letter
