</div>The plaintiff herein asserts she is the current head of
her immediate family and customary successor of late Opanin Francis Kwadwo
Mprah. On 5/1/10, she issued a writ in that capacity against the defendants as
the executors of the last will and testament of late Opanin Francis Kwadwo
Mprah claiming the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>“(a)
Declaration that the farmlands together with cocoa farms &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; thereon situated and lying at a place
commonly known and &nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; called “Aburaso” and “Kwadwo Barnie Krom”,
all at <o:p></o:p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Adugyama
via Mankranso and share common boundaries with <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the properties of Nana Sika Yena’s
immediate family are <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; properties belonging to the immediate
family of which <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; plaintiff is the head.<o:p></o:p>(b)<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration that all farmlands
and the cocoa farms thereon stated in (a) supra were vested in the late Opanin
Francis Kwadwo Mprah by the immediate family of which the plaintiff is the
current head, having inherited same through succession.<o:p></o:p>(c)<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Declaration
that the late Francis Kwadwo Mprah just like any of the family members, cannot
will the said family properties to any person(s).<o:p></o:p>(d)<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp; Declaration
that the late Opanin Francis Kwadwo Mprah by stating these family properties in
his last will as if same were his own self-acquired properties amounts to
perpetuating fraud on the plaintiff’s immediate family and same ought to be set
aside.<o:p></o:p>(e)<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp; A
declaration that the conduct of late Opanin Francis Kwadwo Mprah is contrary to
customary law and tradition and same ought to be set aside.<o:p></o:p>
