Daddy Lumba Leaves No Registered Will, Estate Likely to Follow Intestate Laws

High Court Records Show No Last Will for Late Highlife Legend

Court documents from the Probate and Administration Division of the High Court in Accra reveal that the late highlife icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh (Daddy Lumba), did not leave behind a registered will.

An official registry search conducted on January 16, 2026, confirmed that there is no record of a Last Will and Testament in the name of Daddy Lumba. This development indicates that the late musician’s estate will likely be administered according to Ghana’s intestate succession laws, unless new legal documents are produced.

The lack of a registered will could mean that the division of Daddy Lumba’s estate—comprising assets, royalties, and property—will follow statutory procedures, which typically prioritize spouses, children, and other close relatives. Legal experts note that intestate succession can sometimes lead to delays or disputes, especially for estates involving high-profile personalities with significant assets.

Fans and the Ghanaian music community have expressed both shock and curiosity about the implications for Daddy Lumba’s estate. Many are calling for clarity to ensure that his family receives a fair and transparent administration of his legacy.

Authorities in the Probate Division have advised that any interested parties who may hold valid testamentary documents should present them to the court to ensure proper execution of the late musician’s wishes.
