An Estate Manager generally oversees commercial building/housing. Handling the legal aspects of estate management requires legal expertise above the capacity of a person who is not a Property Lawyer.
This is why engaging a Property Lawyer is very important. From landlord and tenant laws, to regulatory compliance, managing an estate involves complex legal matters. A Property Lawyer’s role in estate management includes drafting and reviewing of contracts/agreements, ensuring that tenancies comply with relevant laws, avoiding and promptly addressing legal disputes that may arise.
Estate management may also involve issues like property taxes, transfer of ownership and estate planning. For example, if an estate owner plans to pass down assets to heirs, a Property Lawyer will streamline the process, ensuring all transfers are legally binding and minimizing potential conflicts.
Additionally, Nigeria’s Property laws are ever-changing, and a Lawyer stays updated on any legislative or case law changes, safeguarding the Landlord’s property and investment interests from legal pitfalls.
Having a Property Lawyer as your estate Manager ensures all processes align with legal standards, fostering smoother management of the building and tenants, and reducing risks associated with tenancy relationships.
