THE DOCUMENT THAT DETERMINES WHO TRULY OWNS LAND/BUILDING
Many people believe that once you pay money for land or building, they have automatically bought it.
That is one of the biggest and most expensive mistakes in real estate. Truly, ownership begins only when an experienced Property Lawyer prepares and perfects your purchase documents.
Verbal promises, receipts and witness statements cannot transfer ownership of land or building.
Legally, what proves ownership is the Deed of Conveyance, Deed of Assignment or irrevocable Power of Attorney properly drafted, signed and stamped by an experienced Property/Real Estate Lawyer.
Without these, your payment means nothing in the eyes of the law.
Countless land buyers in Nigeria have lost their hard-earned money simply because their ‘documents’ were incomplete, faulty or drafted by unqualified persons.
They ended up discovering that the same land was sold to others or that the seller had no legal right to sell in the first place.
A Property Lawyer investigates and verifies ownership. He conducts due diligence, confirms the seller’s right to sell and prepares documents that stand the legal test.
At Apex Chambers, we conduct full land investigation before any payment is made and we prepare all land/building purchase documents that make you the rightful owner.
When land documents are wrong, your money is gone, but when they are right, your ownership is secure.
