To will my own estate to my husband? Yes, I can do it. Why not? Remember that when we were being joined together in Holy matrimony, we became one and agreed to share everything including our problems, joy and property. As a result of the love between us, we agreed to share everything. I know that some women out there are bound to say no. Those who say no are making it very clear that they’re insecure and don’t know the man they got married to. It obviously means that such a woman doesn’t love her husband. Once I love and trust my husband, I will do it. Remember that what belongs to me also belongs to him and vice versa.

Joy Monye
Of course I can. As long as my husband has proven himself to be trustworthy, he deserves it. I know it’s a risky thing to do considering the peculiar tendency of men to be unfaithful, I believe my own man will be mine and mine alone. My husband will be different from other men; even if I own an airline, I won’t hesitate to will it to him.

Jane Ihenachor
If the love, understanding and trustworthiness are there, I can do it. I won’t be scared because he also shares his own things with me. Let me however make it very clear here that for me to will my estate to my husband, he has to be ready to will his own property to me as well. I don’t expect him to hesitate after all; it’s not as if he has any ulterior motives.

Rosemary John
For me to have agreed to marry him then I must really love him. I love him but I can’t will my estate to him. He has to understand. What if after I will it to him, he starts misbehaving? Who would I turn to? I’ll trust my husband and be ready to sacrifice for him but I don’t expect him to want me to begin to will my property to him. I should trust him as I said earlier but not to that extent. I’ll rather will my estate to my children and family. That’s a wiser way to do it.

Mrs. Omolara famakinwa
No! I can’t will my estate to my husband. I’ll rather will it to my children. I can’t will my estate to my husband because naturally, I should will it to my children. Moreover, we all know men have their peculiarities.

Simbiat Ojolowo
If I have children of my own, then I should naturally will a property of that magnitude to them. I however don’t have children yet so I’ll will it to my man in the meantime. However, as soon as the kids start coming in, there’s gonna be a change of direction. I love my husband but for some inexplicable reasons, my guts tell me I should love my children more. Our children have a great tendency to outlive both my husband and I. I’m sure he feels the same way about his property and will.

Tolani Ishola
No! It’s my children that I’ll will it to. If I die before him, there’s a very high tendency for him to marry another woman. I’ll therefore will the estate to my children. I love my man but he shouldn’t expect me to begin willing my things to him. That’s wrong and I don’t expect him to will anything to me either. It’s very wrong.

Shola Kasali
I can’t will my estate to my husband. I’ll rather will it to my first son or first daughter. I can’t will it to my husband. A woman shouldn’t love a man to that extent. My estate? Men can sometimes be very terrible. If I will my estate to him and I die, he’ll certainly bring another woman into the estate. I’ll be dead and the woman will be reaping where she did not sow. If I don’t have children to will the estate to, I’ll will it to my relatives.

Oluwafunmilayo Oshineye
No way! Willing my estate to my husband would be a wrong decision. I will love him but not that type of love. What kind of love would drive me to will my estate to my husband? My children are the ones who should inherit my estate and not my husband. I’m not saying I won’t will anything in his name o. It’s just that the willing would be on a 30%-70% thing. While 70% of my property would be willed to my children, the remaining 30% would go to my husband. That’s the way it should be and not entirely to my husband.

Ife Ogunbanjo
No I can’t. I’d rather will my estate to my son and his brothers and sisters. It’s not that I don’t love my husband but you’ll have to agree with me that men are wicked. After I die, he would most likely bring in another woman into the estate. That’s not bad but what if the woman is the wicked one who decides to chase my children out of the estate that should have been rightfully theirs. If I don’t have kids, I’d rather will the estate to my relatives and the motherless babies’ home.
