My husband recently passed away while working overseas. My in-laws, who I haven’t always gotten along with, didn’t inform me and left me alone with our 9-month-old baby. They went to perform the final rites without me. I’m an independent woman and want to raise my child on my own. What steps can I take to ensure this happens and what should I do now?

You have the right to your late husband’s property and to raise your child. First, inform the local authorities about your husband’s death and your situation. Next, engage a lawyer to secure your rights and get a copy of the death certificate. You should also seek legal advice on the inheritance and child custody process.
