A High Court search finds no will for Daddy Lumba, as a legal challenge erupts over who can administer the late legend’s estate.
An official search at the Probate and Administration Division of the High Court in Accra has turned up no will belonging to the late highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba, raising fresh questions over how his estate will be handled.
The verification exercise formed part of ongoing legal steps surrounding the musician’s properties and sought to establish whether any testamentary document had been deposited with the court. The search aimed to confirm the existence of a will, the date it may have been filed, the individual who submitted it, and the lawyer involved.
Documents from the registry show that the request, initiated by unidentified persons and bearing the logo of Maame Tiwa, a prominent member of Team Legal Wives, yielded no results. In a formal response dated January 19, 2026, the registry stated that it holds no record of a will registered in Daddy Lumba’s name.
The confirmation was endorsed with the signature and official stamp of the Registrar of the Probate and Administration Division, effectively establishing that the court has no testamentary filing from the late musician on record.
As the search in Accra closes one avenue, legal activity has intensified in Kumasi. Akosua Serwaa, identified as Daddy Lumba’s widow, has petitioned the Kumasi High Court for letters of administration to oversee the management and distribution of his estate.
That application has not gone unchallenged. Odo Broni has entered a caveat against Serwaa’s request, contending that she cannot lawfully present herself as the sole surviving spouse and therefore lacks the authority to proceed alone.
According to the objection, the recognition of another spouse undermines any attempt by a single party to assume control over the estate without broader legal determination.
The filing of the caveat has temporarily stalled the administration process, pending the court’s ruling on questions of capacity and entitlement.
The development was first reported by GhanaWeekend.
