Lagos Legal Twist: Side Chics Entitled To Contest Sugar Daddy’s Will Claims Private Trust Advisor....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A Nigerian trust advisor has ignited a social media debate with his unconventional perspective on will interpretation and execution in Lagos state. During a radio program on Nigeria Info on February 29, Iyiosa Ediagbonya shared a noteworthy viewpoint, suggesting that Lagos laws might allow a mistress, commonly referred to as a “side chic,” to contest her sugar daddy’s will if she is excluded.

Ediagbonya emphasized the importance of clearly identifying oneself in the will and specifying beneficiaries such as a wife, children, husband, or others. He explained the subsequent step of appointing executors, whether corporate or individual.

When questioned about the legal recognition of a will in which beneficiaries are not family members, like a man leaving all his assets to his mistress’s children, Ediagbonya asserted that such a scenario is contestable. He clarified that Lagos state wills law provides provisions for both beneficiaries and dependents. Dependents, in this context, are individuals who can demonstrate that the deceased was financially responsible for their needs over a period.

Ediagbonya further elaborated that if a man’s mistress can substantiate her financial dependence through bank statements, there are legal provisions for her within the framework of Lagos wills law. This perspective has generated discussions on social media regarding the intricacies of will interpretation and the potential implications for unconventional family structures.
