YOU NEED A PROPERTY LAWYER TO PREPARE THE RIGHT LAND/BUILDING PURCHASE DOCUMENTS
It is shocking how people spend millions of naira buying land/building but hand over the drafting of the purchase document to a roadside typist or realtor.
When trouble comes, they realize that what they proudly called a Deed of Conveyance or Deed of Assignment is worthless pieces of paper.
Buying land/building is not just about paying money; it is about legally transferring ownership. This is done with a properly prepared land/house purchase document.
A Property Lawyer knows the language of ownership. He knows the right legal expressions that make your ownership enforceable and valid anywhere.
Every word, term and signature in a purchase document has legal implications.
One omission or careless phrase can determine whether you truly own the land or not.
When a Property Lawyer drafts your land purchase document, he ensures it captures the right ownership, describes the land accurately, includes proper signing/witnessing and complies with property laws.
Engaging your Property Lawyer early enough allows him to conduct proper due diligence before drafting, by confirming the land’s authenticity, ownership history and if there is dispute or Government acquisition.
Letting anyone else do it is an avoidable mistake. A poorly drafted document can make your ownership invalid, not registrable or completely useless.
Avoid land trouble.
