A legal dispute has already emerged over the estate of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, barely one month after his burial on December 13, 2025.
His widow, Akosua Serwaa, his elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, and his daughter, Charlyn Fosu, have jointly applied to the Kumasi High Court for letters of administration to manage and distribute his properties.
Court documents show that Akosua Serwaa appeared before the Kumasi High Court on January 14, 2026, exactly one month after the funeral, seeking legal authority to administer the estate.
Media personality NYDJ reported on January 15, 2026, that Akosua Serwaa, Ernestina Fosu and Charlyn Fosu listed 19 properties in their application which they claim form part of the late musician’s estate and must have a share of.
The 19 properties and assets Akosua Serwaa is demanding a share of include:
1. Half of a house at Dome, Accra – valued at about GH¢500,000
2. Half of a house at West Legon, Accra – valued at about GH¢500,000
3. Half of a house at Tantra Hills, Accra – valued at about GH¢400,000
4. Half of a rented house at Tantra, Accra – valued at about GH¢500,000
5. Half of House No. GA3329264 at East Legon, Ayawaso Municipality – valued at about GH¢600,000
6. Half of one plot of land at Tantra Hills, Accra – valued at about GH¢200,000
7. Half of a plot with a six-storey uncompleted building at Kasoa Toll Booth – valued at about GH¢600,000
8. Half of a five-storey house at Kasoa Toll Booth near Asamoah Gyan’s residence – valued at about GH¢600,000
9. Half of 20 plots of land at Tuba, Kasoa – valued at about GH¢400,000
10. Half of 30 plots of land with estate housing at Obom, Kasoa – valued at about GH¢600,000
11. Half of four plots at Amasaman – valued at GH¢100,000
12. Half of two plots at Kwaadaso, Kumasi – valued at GH¢50,000
13. Half of one plot at Appiadu, Kumasi – valued at GH¢20,000
14. Half of a plot at Tesano, Accra – valued at GH¢20,000
15. Half of DLFM, Accra – valued at GH¢10,000
16. Half of DL Water business, Accra – valued at about GH¢10,000
17. Half of eight private cars – valued at GH¢200,000
18. Half of two plots at Daban, Kumasi – valued at GH¢100,000
19. Personal effects – valued at GH¢20,000
However, Daddy Lumba’s other wife, Priscilla Ofori, also known as Odo Broni, has filed a caveat through her lawyers challenging Akosua Serwaa’s move.
According to the caveat, the presence of another legally recognised spouse invalidates any attempt by one party to unilaterally assume control over the estate.
