I'm loving the zeal in you. Keep it up my sister.

[@felistasnjeru5047]

I remember I was in court in Embu for succession and there was a family that was ahead of us getting their hearing from the judge done on land succession. It was a mother and her son's. (They introduced themselves to the judge) The judge looked at their documents and asked "Are these the only children?" The mother said "I have a daughter but I'm only giving land to my son's" The judge asked "Why isn't she getting land?" And the mother replied, "I've decided to just give my son's land." The judge respectfully said, "Let your daughter appear before the court and say she doesn't want land. Then and only then will I approve this succession of land." And that's how they left the court room.

[@mercyk2672]

These are the stories that make me thankful for my late parents and siblings. I come from a big family but my parents gave us each a title deed to our ancestral land. Whatever they didn't settle before death has been equally divided amongst all of us even among my brothers widows and children, we all received our title deeds, even those of us in America. The proceeds from rent are also equally divided amongst all of us with no dispute. Even my wealthiest siblings who earn millions every month get an equal share. I can't imagine it any other way. My heart breaks for single and divorced women, as I'm one of them, but I've been shown nothing but kindness by my siblings

[@Nzembitv]

[@IconicFuture341]

Don't say you love and care for each other as a family until something to share is concerned eg money, property, etc! I have experienced this with my brother and mother and I know how it goes. My relationship with my brother and mother has never been the same again. I now see them for who they are, selfish and greedy.

[@seleinashurake1498]

Thank God they have shown you their true colors earlier enough

[@eunicenjeru215]

I believe some close relatives are fueling this hositility and they are benefiting.I wish your brothers can live their lives ignoring relatives and keeping family matters secret.They can get together and comfort themselves as siblings.However, a lot of forgiveness, mental health disorders could be in play here.Revocation is better because non of them will end up with the land if it is not subdivided.Check to know if your mom's house in Nairobi is still in her name.Your other brother might have transfered it to himself.

[@Nzembitv]

Wow! You're left out of your mother's memorial service, and your brother's wedding???😮🙆‍♀️God has totally been kicked out of most families. I hope you get what is rightfully yours.

Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD? ' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

[@mercyk2672]

Don't give up. That's very good advice about making sure that you have your kids name on all your title deeds and properties. My daughter is 14 but ive put her name on all my assets, even what I inherited from my parents. I've explained to her everything. I trust my family but i don't want anyone on her dads side of the family to ever try and take anything away from her

Africa has to stop this partriachy, South Africa used to be the same during apartheid times, this has now changed thank God. I am fortunate my parents treated us the same girls and boys respected us. Until death, everything is split equally. My father is my hero, he made it clear that in his house, we are all equal, boys and girls. My brother treat their family their same. Women should be looked after more than men,as men can fend for themselves better. I am disgusted at the way African women are ill treated.

[@DimakatsoG]

Everyone is born with a particular personality, it does not matter how educated one becomes, when one has narcissistic tendencies, they will always have such traits throughout their lives. So my sister, we thank God you are still alive, some would have killed you for such temporal gains of your parents inheritance. It is heart wrenching to know that you grew up well but their true colours emerged when you least expected. Perhaps lean more on your cousins till you are back on your feet, continue with your life. One day they will come crawling on their knees and you will have to forgive them. I just advice that you forgive them already. God will see you through as you put effort on your future life. Women see it all in this life. Be blessed.

[@sylviaragoi9688]

Take it further and apply for a ‘caveat’ to stop any further actions on all your mothers properties. The law states that all children have a right to inherit their parents property women too; whether married or not. Sons or Daughters all are equal. The days long are long gone when only male children can inherit… especially land. All children in this case are sharing the same father and mother. Get a fresh law firm to represent your interests ‘pro bono’ that specializes in such matters. All daughters whether married or not have a right to inherit their parents properties. A law firm that can’t be compromised. Did your mother leave a will ? Although nowadays it means nothing and can be changed! It doesn’t matter if the other brothers have friends in high places or have ‘influence’. The law is clear. They are frustrating you so that you can give up. It is your right to inherit your mother’s property. Don’t give up Margaret

[@carolinelewis9615]

When a parent dies suddenly without a will, it leaves a big loophole for exploitation, you would think because you've grown up together in a loving supportive home, all your siblings would cooperate together fairly, but for some reason known only to the siblings causing the division, they feel more entitled to a greater share than others. This is an issue I hear all the time, but due to my parents setting out their wishes by leaving a will this issue, which tried to arise couldn't, because of the presence of a legal, binding will. Get a will in place to secure your daughters inheritance.
