After their dad died and left Dipo, the first son, to manage his estate, Ibrahim and Emmanuel disagreed with him on almost all key decisions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fight carried on until Dipo asked the siblings to consult with an estate administrator. That was the decision that turned the course of events around for good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a parent dies, the aftermath could result in bringing the children together or tearing them apart. The latter was the case for Ibrahim, Emmanuel and Dipo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Dipo handled the disagreement is a useful template for addressing this staple inheritance contest in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estate Planning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While there is a no single solution, these ideas generally help to keep families from falling apart:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Appoint a neutral institutional administrator<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step to eliminating bias and sibling rivalry is to seek the appointment of an institutional administrator like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FBN Trustees<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the estate. This will provide an assurance to disgruntled siblings that an unbiased third-party is taking care of the process and assets are being properly distributed or managed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hold open discussions about the estate<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being the executor of a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is no small responsibility. To mitigate unhealthy suspicion, conversations around the assets should be open and updates on changes should be communicated to all concerned parties as often and as clearly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been left to manage an estate under similar circumstances as Dipo, your first step is to engage an expert, credible institutional executor like FBN Trustees. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A member of the reputed FBN Holdings Group, FBN Trustees is a team of experts who have in-depth industry knowledge, local awareness and relevant experience, having helped develop wealth transfer plans for families over several decades. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can count on FBN Trustees to provide you with bespoke solutions to address your wealth transfer objectives, especially as we realise that no two individuals have exactly the same needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin today and afford your loved ones the opportunity to reach for success.<\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact FBN Trustees<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to schedule a consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This article is sponsored content brought to you by<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> FBN Trustees<\/span>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p><a> Guardian NG <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Ibrahim, Emmanuel and Dipo Olowo hugged and for the rest of the night, looked at &hellip; <a title=\"Managing estate disputes without breaking strong family bonds\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/managing-estate-disputes-without-breaking-strong-family-bonds\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Managing estate disputes without breaking strong family bonds<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3948,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[15307],"class_list":["post-3947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-ulta"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/guardian-1-1062x598.png?fit=1062%2C598&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7156,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/developers-call-for-regulation-of-industry\/","url_meta":{"origin":3947,"position":0},"title":"Developers call for regulation of industry","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 20, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) in South West Region has called on the federal government to enact laws that regulate the activities of developers in the industry.
