In this Women’s month, it’s crucial to address issues that affect women in various aspects of life. One often overlooked area is probate—something many may not fully understand, yet it profoundly impacts women, especially in Nigeria.

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their wishes or the law. These assets can include property, money, investments, and personal belongings.

Why is it Important to Women?

In Nigeria, where traditional family structures often place women at a disadvantage in matters of inheritance, understanding probate is crucial for women’s empowerment. Without a clear understanding of probate, women may face challenges in asserting their rights to benefit from their properties and assets.

How Does Probate Benefit Women?

Probate provides a structure for resolving inheritance disputes, ensuring that women are catered for at the demise of their loved ones through easy access to the deceased estate. By navigating the probate process, women can receive a fair share of the deceased estate, protect their rights, and secure their financial future. We are celebrating women by increasing the awareness of probate and its implications. Equipping more women with knowledge about their rights in inheritance, to promote gender equality and financial independence.
