Daddy Lumba’s Daughter Seeks Removal From Letters Of Administration Over Estate Matters
One of the daughters of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba has formally petitioned the court to have her name removed from documents linked to the administration of her father’s estate. The request follows the discovery that she was listed as an applicant in letters of administration without her knowledge or consent.
According to information presented before the court, the daughter maintains that she never agreed to be part of any legal process aimed at managing or controlling the estate of the late musician. She explained that her name was added to the application without consultation, prompting her to take immediate legal steps to dissociate herself from the matter. Her lawyers argued that the inclusion of her name was improper and could expose her to responsibilities and decisions she did not authorise.
The court was informed that her decision to seek removal is also driven by a desire to allow family issues surrounding the estate to be resolved peacefully. She reportedly prefers that matters concerning her father’s legacy and properties be handled internally by the family rather than through prolonged legal disputes. Her legal team stressed that she remains committed to preserving harmony among family members during this difficult period.
The application forms part of a broader legal process surrounding Daddy Lumba’s estate, which has attracted public attention following disagreements among relatives over the management of his assets. Under Ghanaian law, letters of administration grant individuals legal authority to manage the estate of a deceased person who did not leave a valid will. However, such authority requires the clear consent and involvement of all listed applicants.
The court is expected to determine the matter in line with established legal principles, as proceedings regarding the administration of the late musician’s estate continue.
