In Nigeria, one of the most expensive mistakes people make is assuming that anyone in possession of land, building or business has the right to sell it.
That assumption has ruined investments, triggered endless disputes and left many buyers stranded.
The law is that a person cannot transfer what he does not legally own and cannot pass ownership that he does not have.
If the seller lacks valid ownership or proper authority from the owner to sell, the entire transaction will collapses no matter how believable the documents look or how confidently the deal was presented.
Do not be deceived. Many property and business documents in circulation look genuine but hide serious issues like land sold without the real owner’s consent, property under dispute, companies represented by unauthorized persons.
These are not small issues; they are legal traps.
A competent Property and Business Lawyer does not just draft legal documents; he investigates the origin of ownership, verifies authority and reveals issues that are carefully hidden from you.
This legal help is what separates a secure investment from a future court case.
Remember that before you pay for land, house or business, be sure that the seller has both ownership and the legal power to transfer it.
In law, if a foundation is faulty, everything built on it will eventually collapse.
You don’t want that, do you?
