LET A PROPERTY/REAL ESTATE LAWYER PREPARE YOUR LAND/BUILDING PURCHASE DOCUMENT
You need a Property/Real Estate Lawyer while buying land/building, just like you need oxygen to stay alive.
Every document regarding land must be prepared by a Property and Real Estate Lawyer or else you have nothing but a piece of worthless paper.
You can’t do it yourself. Only a Lawyer can do it for you. A Property Lawyer is in the best position to know the right legal document to prepare.
It could be a Deed of Conveyance, Deed of Transfer, Deed of Gift, Deed of Partition, Deed of Assignment, etc. A Lawyer will do the right thing for you. Don’t let legal fees scare you away or push you into the waiting hands of quacks.
Business centres and estate agents will put you in trouble, so run from them and don’t look back. Many land and house buyers have, in a bid to cut cost, fallen victims of the dishonesty of people whom they trust.
Patronizing a middle-man or a buyer doing it himself will surely qualify to make the list of 1000 ways to die in buying land.
It is now common for land or house buyers to ask Surveyors, estate agents to get a Lawyer to prepare land documents. Such persons, in a fraudulent bid to play smart look for avenues to get shady documents and end up undoing the buyer and pushing him into avoidable legal problems.
Don’t leave your legal matters in the hands of a non-Lawyer. So many persons today are suffering for the costly mistake of thinking they could do by themselves what a Property/Real Estate Lawyer ought to do for them.
Some things are not as simple as they seem. There are legal consequences. The saying “prevention is better than cure” has no exception.
