Daddy Lumba left no will – High Court
The High Court in Accra has revealed that there is no record of a last Will for the late highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, at the Probate and Administration Division’s registry.
The confirmation emerged from an official registry search initiated as part of the legal process to manage the estate of the celebrated musician.
The search, which was requested in connection with the administration of Daddy Lumba’s estate, aimed to determine whether the late artist had filed a will with the High Court, and if so, the date of deposit, the person who filed it, and the lawyer who prepared the document.
However, the registry’s response, dated January 19, 2026, at 2:37 pm, indicated that there is no record of any will deposited by Daddy Lumba.
The High Court document, signed and stamped by the Registrar of the Probate and Administration Division, stated that no such record exists in the court’s registry.
The absence of a recorded will suggests that the estate of the late musician may have to be administered under Ghana’s intestate succession laws, unless a will is presented from another source.
The development adds a new layer of legal considerations for the family and legal representatives handling the late musician’s affairs.
Daddy Lumba, known for his enduring contributions to Ghanaian highlife music, passed away leaving behind a rich musical legacy.
His death has continued to draw attention to the management of his estate, especially given his status as one of Ghana’s most influential music icons.
