The High Court in Accra has confirmed that there is no record of a last will deposited by the late highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, at the Probate and Administration Division.
The confirmation followed an official registry search conducted as part of legal processes surrounding the administration of the musician’s estate. The search sought to establish whether Daddy Lumba had lodged a will with the court, including details of its filing date, the person who submitted it, and the legal practitioner who prepared the document.
According to a response issued by the court registry on January 19, 2026, at 2:37 pm, no such record exists. The document, signed and stamped by the Registrar of the Probate and Administration Division, stated clearly that the court’s records do not show any will deposited in the name of the late musician.
The absence of a registered will means that the administration of Daddy Lumba’s estate may proceed under Ghana’s intestate succession laws, unless a valid will is produced from another source and properly presented before the court.
This development introduces additional legal considerations for the family and representatives managing the affairs of the celebrated artist, particularly given the scale of his influence and the value of his creative estate.
Daddy Lumba, widely regarded as one of Ghana’s most iconic highlife musicians, left behind an enduring musical legacy that continues to shape the country’s cultural landscape. His passing has renewed public interest in the legal and financial management of the estates of prominent creative figures.
