For a Landlord/Landlady seeking to hire an estate Manager, hiring a Property Lawyer to manage your estate is a proactive step in risk management. Estate management involves various tasks such as tenant negotiations, comprehensive agreement, property maintenance and financial oversight.
However, these duties also expose estate managers and owners to legal risks like tenant disputes, tenancy enforcement issues, and regulatory penalties or, in extreme cases, forfeiture of the property. A Property Lawyer can proactively address these risks by implementing legally sound estate management practices.
In Nigeria, property laws can be intricate, and ignorance may lead to costly mistakes. A Property Lawyer provides guidance on structuring contracts that protect both the estate and the Landlord’s interests.
Additionally, in cases of tenant eviction or disputes, a lawyer can represent the Landlord in court, ensuring all legal procedures are followed to avoid penalties or litigation setbacks. Ultimately, involving a Property Lawyer not only secures the estate but also supports the estate manager by fostering a legally compliant, risk-free environment.
Engaging an experienced Property Lawyer as your Estate Manager is wise.
