Life
Louch divided his land between his adopted son Umong, daughter Ibuuch, step-daughter Ross and Dirrablong who was "like a child" to him.{{Cite web|url=http://www.palausupremecourt.net/doc/ROP_Reporters/1ROP/1%20ROP%20Intrm%20682.pdf|date=September 18, 1989|title=The Children of Ngeskesuk, Et Al., Appellants vs. Esebei Espangel, Et, Al., Appellee|access-date=December 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231230222055/http://www.palausupremecourt.net/doc/ROP_Reporters/1ROP/1%20ROP%20Intrm%20682.pdf|archive-date=December 30, 2023|url-status=live|website=www.palausupremecourt.net}} A dispute over the ownership of the land occurred between Ibuuch, Dirrablong and their successors which resulted in litigation before Japanese Courts, as Palau was a part of the South Seas Mandate at the time, where it was ruled that, among others, lot number 1459 and 1460 were owned by Dirrablong and her descendants.
