This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this concise exposition and analysis of the essential elements of law with regard to family relations, marital property, and succession to estates in Nigeria covers the legal rules and customs pertaining to the intertwined civic status of persons, the family, and property. After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of family and succession law, the authorities that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity and the legal disposition of property among family members. Such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. The book is primarily designed to assist lawyers who find themselves having to apply rules of international private law or otherwise handling cases connected with Nigeria. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary, basic material of family and succession law.

Download or read book Restatement of Customary Law of Nigeria written by Epiphany Azinge and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a Restatement is to identify common principles or trends in a particular area of law with the objective of unifying the further development of the law. No other area of law in Nigeria is in need of Restatement as much as Nigeria's customary law. A number of reasons inform this position: (i) the cultural diversity of the country has meant that customary practices differ in so many respects on the same issue; (ii) the oral tradition of the customary system has placed it in the 'endangered species' list; (iii) the paucity of authoritative works on customary law has created a yawning gap for the scholarship in this vital area of law; and (iv) no matter however ignored, customary law continues to play a very significant role in moderating the Nigerian values system in society. Carried out by the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies this project brings to an end four years of a massive research undertaking involving desk review; field research covering four geo-political zones in Nigeria; collation and analysis of field research findings; testing of field research findings in a stakeholders consultative conference; further desk review to fill in gaps in the literature; and the core restatement work by a select committee of Reporters.

Download or read book Law of Succession in Southern Nigeria with Special Reference to the Mid western Region written by Mudiaga Odje and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work treats of both the general law and the customary law of succession in southern Nigeria, with special reference to the newly established Mid-Western Region. The rules of the various systems of the customary law of succession of the peoples inhabiting our area of special reference - the Mid-Western Region - have been examined in defined patterns; although the opportunity has also been taken to point out instances of local variations occurring within the patterns, as well as those of similarities existing between systems dealt with in different patterns. The work is in five parts. Part One gives an outline of the legal system of the Mid-Western Region, including a brief sketch of certain topics - the creation of the Region, its position, extent and peoples - serving, as it were, as a background for an intelligent understanding of the legal system. Part Two deals with the general law. Chapter Two contains a brief account of the law relating to the administration of estates; while Chapters Three and Four examine the effect of a Christian or monogamous marriage on intestate succession. Part Three is concerned with the process of the administration of estates under customary law in southern Nigeria generally. Chapter Five gives an account of the performance of the burial and funeral ceremony of the deceased, and the connexion between the performance of this ceremony and the succession to his estate. Chapter Six deals with the customary administrator, including his appointment, rights, duties, powers and liabilities. Part Pour is devoted almost exclusively to an examination of the various customary law rules of distribution observed by the different ethnic groups occupying the Mid-Western Region. In this part also, the rights and duties of the heir as well as those of a guardian are considered. Part Five covers testate succession. Chapter Thirteen deals with wills, gifts inter vivos and donationes mortis causa governed by the customary law. Chapter Fourteen discusses the general law of wills, i.e. wills in English form; and examines the purposes for which the machinery offered by the English Wills Acts has been employed by the Nigerian testator. The chapter concludes with suggestions regarding the enactment of legislation to deal with two aspects of the law of wills. One recommends that an attempt should be made to effect either complete integration or harmonization of certain requirements of the general law and the customary law relating to wills. The other calls for the placing of some restrictions on the testamentary powers of the deceased, or more precisely, family provision. A word must be said concerning the method used in collecting some of the materials presented in this work. Apart from several hitherto untouched publications, bearing on the Mid-Western Region, which have been presented here, there has been oral information collected on the spot from chiefs and other persons versed in the customary law in the Region. Their help in this connexion has been duly acknowledged at the appropriate pages of this thesis.
