The Whisper That Changed Everything

Adebisi stared at the faded photo in her trembling hands her mother, Omobolanle, laughing in a vibrant Ankara wrapper, just days before the accident. It was Mother’s Day 2025, their last one together. Omobolanle, a fierce trader in Balogun Market, had built everything from scratch: the bustling stall, the family home in Surulere, dreams of university for Adebisi. But one rainy Lagos night, a danfo crash stole her away. No Will. No plan.

Suddenly, creditors circled like vultures. Uncles emerged from the shadows, claiming “family rights” to Omobolanle’s hard-earned property. At just 22 and fresh out of NYSC, Adebisi struggled to find her footing. She watched helplessly as access to her mother’s assets became a painful maze every door leading to more delays, more demands, more fear of losing everything.

Determined not to give up, Adebisi took the only route available: processing a Letter of Administration through FCMB Trustees Limited. The process was long, emotionally draining, and required endless documentation and verification. But with the guidance and support of the FCMB Trustees team, she pushed through. Step by step, month after month, Adebisi completed the requirements, endured the waiting period, and finally obtained the Letter of Administration that allowed her to legally access her mother’s assets. It wasn’t easy, but it was resolved. She got her mother’s legacy back.

Fast-forward to International Women’s Day 2026. Adebisi stood tall at the podium not as a victim of circumstance, but as a woman transformed by knowledge. She had been invited to speak at a leading women’s conference, her story now a beacon of strength and awareness for others.

She revealed the turning point in her life: the power of Estate Planning and the peace of having a structure in place. She explained how much easier life would have been—how much shorter the process, how much less pain—if her mother had created a Will or Living Trust before her passing.

“Anything can happen. My mother didn’t plan because she didn’t know how. But we, today’s women, must do better,” she said, her voice steady and strong.
