</div>DZAMEFE, JA<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff/appellant,
hereinafter simply referred to as the plaintiff, is a Ghanaian and a sibling of
the 1st defendant/respondent also referred to as the defendant.
Their mother Madam Akosua Agyapa died intestate.&nbsp; The 2nd defendant is the auntie of
the plaintiff and the 1st defendant herein.<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff’s case is
that while their mother was alive, she put up a two apartment storey building
on her parcel of land, Plot 14, Block XVIII (18).&nbsp; Their mother while alive, rented part of the
said building to tenants. After her death, the family chaired by the
Abusuapanin Buokromhene and members held a meeting specifically in respect of
her estate.&nbsp; The plaintiff said further
that, the Abusuapanyin and the elders held that though the house was situate on
family land, they have resolved to allow them, the only surviving children, to
be the beneficiaries and enjoy the property to maintain or keep their departed
mothers memory in the Kokobaase family.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Plaintiff avers that his
brother, 1st defendant never discussed anything regarding Letters of
Administration nor vesting of the property whether her but secretly and
fraudulently went to procure the Letters of Administration and vesting Assent
to vest the said property in himself alone without her knowledge and
consent.&nbsp; She claims by his act, the 1st
defendant had perpetuated fraud on her.&nbsp;
She listed the particulars of fraud as;-<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration of title and possession of that Plot number 14, Block “XVII”
Buokrom is the joint bonafide property of the plaintiff and the 1st defendant
as beneficiary of the estate of Akosua Agyapa who died intestate.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
cancellation or annulment of the Vesting Assent dated the 10th day
of April 2013 with documents No.AS44/04/2013 in respect of the property No. FT16354
vesting the property only in George Osei Kessie.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>It is her claim that the 1st
defendant is not entitled to enjoy the fruit of his fraudulent perpetration of
vesting the property in himself as owner. That the said property is the joint
property of herself and the 1st defendant as the only surviving
siblings of their deceased mother.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Plaintiff prayed that the 1st
defendant’s procurement of the Letter of Administration and </main>
