The suit, though well intentioned, was fundamentally defective. Tunde could not rely on customary standing while ignoring the probate structure created by the Will. The law required him to join his co executors because the estate belonged not to him individually, but to the executors collectively for administration. Outside the courtroom, the decision felt harsh to some members of the family. They saw only delay where urgency was needed. But the family lawyer explained the deeper lesson. The law was not denying protection to the land. It was insisting on order. A Will is more than a declaration of wishes; it is a legal reorganisation of authority. Once it exists, actions concerning the property must follow its framework. Tunde eventually returned to court, this time alongside Bisi and Kunle. Together, they pursued the claim properly, and the developer’s encroachment was halted. The process took longer, but it stood on firmer legal ground. The lesson is quiet but powerful. Being right is not always enough. Acting in the right legal capacity is what gives your voice recognition before the law. When a Will speaks, tradition does not disappear, but it must step aside for structure. And in that balance between heritage and legality lies the discipline that keeps justice orderly rather than chaotic. At Krispy Legal, the story reminds us that law is not merely about who has interest in a matter, but who the law recognises as entitled to act, and in what capacity they must do so.

ACTING ALONE AS A SOLE EXECUTOR: THE LEGAL QUESTION Case in View: IDOWU vs. ADESANYA(2020)LCN/14740(CA) In the old town of Iperu, the Adeyemi family land stood like a memory that refused to fade. It was not just soil and buildings. It carried stories of marriages celebrated beneath mango trees, disputes settled under moonlight, and generations raised on the belief that family land belonged to everyone and to no one at the same time. Whenever outsiders threatened it, any member of the family could rise to defend it. That was the custom, and for decades, custom was enough. When Pa Adeyemi died at the age of eighty six, the family gathered expecting tradition to guide the next chapter. Instead, the family lawyer unfolded a neatly sealed document that changed everything. Pa Adeyemi had left a Will. The announcement unsettled the older relatives. A Will felt foreign, almost suspicious, as though the old man had replaced communal understanding with written authority. The document named three executors: Tunde, the eldest son; Bisi, the quiet but meticulous daughter; and Kunle, a nephew known for his financial discipline. Together, they were entrusted with administering the estate, including the very land the family had always treated as ancestral property. For a while, nothing happened. Then trouble arrived in the form it often does, quietly and confidently. A property developer began fencing off a portion of the land, claiming to have purchased it from a distant relative who insisted he had authority to sell. The sight of iron rods piercing the familiar earth ignited anger across the family compound. Meetings were called, voices rose, and everyone agreed on one thing: the land must be defended immediately. Tunde did not hesitate. As the eldest son and one of the executors, he believed both tradition and responsibility rested on his shoulders. Without consulting the other executors, he instructed a lawyer to file an action in court to stop the developer. After all, he reasoned, any family member could sue to protect family property. That principle had been repeated so often it felt unquestionable. The case moved quickly at first, until the defendant’s counsel raised a quiet but devastating objection. The lawyer argued that Tunde lacked locus standi to bring the action alone. The courtroom stirred. How could the eldest son, an executor no less, lack standing over his own family land? The judge listened carefully as the argument unfolded. The defence pointed out that the land was no longer governed merely by customary family arrangements. Once Pa Adeyemi executed a Will, the legal character of the property changed. The land had moved from the realm of customary family ownership into the structured world of probate law. In that world, authority did not flow from age, lineage, or family status. It flowed from the Will itself. Tunde’s counsel insisted that under customary law, any member of a family could sue to protect family land. The judge agreed, but only partly. Customary law, the court explained, operates until a valid Will intervenes. A Will reorganises rights and responsibilities. It appoints executors not as individuals acting independently, but as joint custodians of the estate. Their authority is collective, not personal. The courtroom grew still as the judge delivered the reasoning that would later echo through legal discussions. Tunde had approached the court as a family member defending family property, but legally he was standing in the wrong capacity. The moment the Will came into effect, he ceased acting merely as a son of the family in relation to the property. He became an executor, and executors must act together unless exceptional circumstances justify otherwise.

Here’s to continued progress, equal opportunity, and a world where every woman can thrive. #InternationalWomensDay 💜
