IS YOUR LAND PURCHASE DOCUMENT VALID?

IS YOUR LAND PURCHASE DOCUMENT VALID?

Every day across Nigeria, thousands proudly hold up their Deed of Assignment or Deed of Conveyance (land purchase documents) as proof of land ownership, completely unaware that they are clutching documents with zero legal value.

It is one of the biggest illusions in the Nigerian property space, and it is costing innocent buyers their peace, money, and in many cases, the very land they thought they owned.

A Deed is NOT Ownership. It is simply evidence that a transaction took place between two parties. If the person who sold you the land had no valid ownership (maybe the land is communal, family-owned, under government acquisition or was sold to someone else) then your Deed is nothing more than a false sense of security and a worthless piece of fine paper.

Many land sellers and real estate agents know this. They present a neat document, collect your money and tell stories that touch.

You, excited and unaware, start fencing or building, only to face demolition, court case or forceful ejection with no legal remedy.

True land ownership means you must trace the root of ownership, verify its authenticity at the proper quarter and register your ownership, else your Deed is just a receipt, not proof of ownership.

Do not be fooled by paperwork.

Engage a Property Lawyer, because in property transactions, what you do not know can know (harm) you.
