High Court Confirms: No Will on File for Music Legend
The Accra High Court has officially confirmed that its Probate and Administration registry holds no record of a last will from the late highlife icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.
This confirmation came directly from an official registry search, which was a necessary step in the legal process to manage the celebrated musician’s estate.
Details of the Official Search
Specifically, the search aimed to discover if Daddy Lumba had ever filed a will with the High Court. Furthermore, it sought to identify the deposit date, the filing individual, and the preparing lawyer.
However, the registry’s formal response, dated January 19, 2026, and signed by the Division’s Registrar, provided a clear finding. Consequently, the stamped court document states no such record exists in their registry.
Potential Implications for Estate Administration
Therefore, the absence of a filed will indicates that Daddy Lumba’s estate will likely be administered under Ghana’s intestate succession laws.
This development, of course, assumes no will emerges from another source. As a result, this situation introduces significant legal considerations for his family and representatives managing his affairs.
A Legacy That Endures
Daddy Lumba, renowned for his timeless contributions to Ghanaian highlife music, passed away leaving a profound musical legacy.
Given his status as a national icon, the management of his estate continues to draw considerable public and legal attention.
