What we do for you
After paying the purchase price of land and signing relevant paper documents with
the seller/vendor, it is mandated by law that you secure or
perfect your title to
the land (what in layman terms is "ownership of land"). "Land"
is used here to include buildings, real estate, real property and undeveloped land.
Our Service
We help you secure title to your land and process the perfection of the land instruments.
Thus we handle the smooth and unhiche process from ,the (1) Stamping,
(2) Registration and (3) Obtaining the consent of the Governor over the land so acquired.
Note that Under the Land Use Act, it is the consent of the Governor
that confers validity to the act of alienation of any interest in the land.
Where the land is subject to customary right of occupancy, the consent required
is that of the local government authority where the land is situated.
Why is Registration/Perfection Necessary?
Registration/Perfection gives an indication that the land
is encumbered by you and any subsequent purchaser would be duly notified
upon investigating the title at the Lands Registry. Perfection raises
presumption of land ownership in your favour against every other
person who lacks a better title.
Perfection passes legal estate in the land. Where the land remains unregistered,
your interest is in equity only and not legal. Non registration renders
the documents inadmissible in evidence to prove your title. You
may not be entitled to receive compensation from government if
the land is compulsorily acquired for overriding public interest.
Perfection prevents fraud and problems arising from the suppression
or omission of instruments when title is deduced, in case of subsequent
transactions it would show your registered interest in the said property.
Your registered instrument rank in priority according to the order of
registration (1st in time is stronger in law).
Your title documents must be registered otherwise they are void in law.
