This morning a Nigerian man contacted Apex Chambers, top Law Firm of very experienced Property/Real Estate and Business/Commercial Lawyers, Barristers, Solicitors, Counsel, Advocates, Attorneys and Notary Public with 17 years practical legal experience and offices in Port Harcourt, Nigeria and Lagos, Nigeria.
He reached out to our Port Harcourt law office and engaged us to handle the registration of the pieces of land he bought in 3 different locations around Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, with the relevant Government authorities, including the Rivers State Ministry of Lands and Survey.
It felt good to know that he was very eager to have his ownership interests (property interests) in these pieces of land legally protected and to avoid legal issues in the future.
With the prevalence of scammers and land grabbers, it is always advisable to solidify your property rights & interests by ensuring you register your land and have peace of mind.
Land registration secures your ownership rights and it prevents fraud and dispute. It gives you formal covering and makes the Government recognize you as the true and genuine owner of that piece of land.
It also ensures that any other person who lays claim to that piece of land has no legal ownership or other legal rights over the property.
So when you buy a piece of land (with or without a building) do well to have the proper purchase documents prepared for you and registered by a Property Lawyer.
If you need help with registering your land, call, WhatsApp or email Apex Chambers, award-winning Property/Real Estate and Business/Commercial Lawyers near you.
