Why You Should Never Buy a Land that has a Power of Attorney as its Main Source of DerivingTitle

Posted by Omonile Lawyer

in Buying lands in Lagos, Buying lands in Ogun, Featured, Know Your Land Documents, Land scam stories, Land Scams, Promoted, Real Estate Developers' Documents

One of the reasons we see so many cases in court with respect to Land Disputes can be traced to this very Powerful but dangerous Document called a Power of Attorney or P.O.A. A Power of Attorney is a written document given by Party A to Party B to carry out certain functions on behalf of that Party A within a specified period. Such functions and powers granted to Party B may include the power to sell, manage, buy, transfer, engage, refuse and administer the Property or Land of Party A till the expiration of the Power of Attorney. Unknown to most people that grant a Power of Attorney to Party B, the Power of Attorney is only to last for 12 Months Only from the date it was signed after which it must expire and must no longer be in use unless it is renewed by Party A to Party B. The rules of a Power of Attorney is Very clear and Inflexible and within that 12 Months, the holder of that Power of Attorney can do and Undo and if not properly managed. Party B can wreck havoc on the lives of Party A and those that are to benefit from the Power of Attorney directly or Indirectly.

A-Z of Buying a Land in Lagos on a Prudent Financial Plan and not ending up Broke Stupidly

Posted by Omonile Lawyer

in Buying lands in Lagos, Buying lands in Ogun, Featured, Land Tips and Advise, Promoted, Property Finance

Every day I get phone calls and emails from people stating their intention to buy lands and pleading with me for me to recommend good lands for them to buy that I think is an excellent deal and has no Omonile Wahala beseeching it but we all forget something very important that deals with buying lands in Lagos and that is the cost implications of purchasing a land. A lot of people think if they have some amount of money set aside in a bank, that will cover all the expenses required to purchase a land in Lagos and the rest is history. But that’s where we are all wrong. Purchasing Land in Lagos is a Tough and difficult experience that requires skill, prayers, financial acumen and smartness. Many of the abandoned Lands scattered all around Lagos boils down to lack of proper budgeting and planning and that’s why so many Omoniles have the guts and opportunity to resell other peoples lands and today I want to us to learn from the experiences I have garnered over the years on how to properly budget and plan ourselves before we venture into the process of buying a land. 1. Never buy a Land based on Emotional Reasons: Just because your neighbor bought a Land or colleague or family member recently purchased a Land and you have that same amount of Money lying dormant somewhere, you just decided to throw it into purchasing a land without any cogent reason to do so. You would run into a lot of futuristic problems and would be left with no choice in the nearest future but to resell it unceremoniously. You have no idea why your neighbor bought that land at that moment and what their account balance is right now compared to yours and what exactly they intend to do with that land. Follow Follow isn’t good without any concrete plan. Make sure you buy Lands because there is a concrete reason to do so and not just for emotional buying sake.

Learn to buy with your pockets first rather than emotional reasons. You could end up regretting it later
