Daddy Lumba left no will – High Court

The High Court in Accra has conducted a search of its records, which 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.

This search was initiated as part of the legal process to manage the estate of the celebrated musician.

The search 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, confirmed that there is no record of any will deposited by Daddy Lumba.

A document from the High Court, authenticated by the Registrar of the Probate and Administration Division, indicates that there is no record of a will on file with the court.

In the absence of a recorded will, it is likely that the estate of the late musician will be administered in accordance with Ghana’s intestate succession laws, unless a will is presented from another source.

This development adds a new dimension to the legal considerations faced by the family and legal representatives handling the late musician’s affairs.

Daddy Lumba, celebrated for his lasting impact on Ghanaian highlife music, passed away leaving behind a rich musical legacy.

The management of his estate has continued to attract attention, particularly in light of his status as one of Ghana’s most influential music icons.
