The Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is an official document issued by the government that serves as proof of legal ownership of a piece of land or property. It provides details about the land, such as its location, size, and permitted use. Having a C of O gives you the exclusive right to use, sell, or transfer the land. It is an important document for landowners in Nigeria.
A Deed of Assignment
is a legal document used to transfer the ownership of a property or land from one party to another. It outlines the terms and conditions of the transfer, including the names of the parties involved, a description of the property, and any agreed-upon terms or considerations. It is an important document that establishes the new owner's legal rights and responsibilities.
Governor's Consent
is a legal requirement in Nigeria for certain land transactions. It is the formal approval given by the state governor or their authorized representative for the transfer of land ownership from one party to another. It ensures that the transaction is in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Obtaining Governor's Consent provides legal validity and protection to the land transaction.
Excision
refers to the process of removing a portion of land from government acquisition. It is an official declaration by the government that a particular area of land is no longer under government control and can be allocated or transferred to individuals or communities. Excision is an important step in establishing legal ownership and securing the rights to the land.
Registered Conveyance
is a legal document that serves as evidence of the transfer of ownership of a property or land. It is registered with the appropriate government authority to ensure its validity and enforceability. This document contains details of the buyer, seller, property description, and terms of the transfer. Registering the conveyance provides legal protection and establishes the new owner's rights over the property.
Right of Occupancy (R of O)
is a type of land title in Nigeria that grants the holder the legal right to occupy and use a particular parcel of land for a specified period of time. It is issued by the government or a designated authority and provides the holder with certain rights and responsibilities regarding the land. The right of occupancy can be obtained for both residential and commercial purposes.
A Deed of Sublease
is a legal document that allows a tenant (the sublessor) to lease out a portion or the entire leased property to another party (the sublessee) for a specific period of time. It is a sublease agreement between the original tenant and the sublessee, outlining the terms and conditions of the sublease, including rent, duration, and any additional agreements or restrictions. The sublessor remains responsible to the original landlord for the terms of the original lease while also assuming the role of a landlord to the sublessee.
A Deed of Gift
is a legal document that transfers ownership of a property or asset from one party (the donor) to another party (the recipient) without any monetary exchange. It is a voluntary act of giving, typically used for gifting property, vehicles, or other valuable assets. The Deed of Gift outlines the details of the transfer, including the description of the property, the names of the donor and recipient, and any conditions or restrictions attached to the gift. It serves as proof of the transfer of ownership and can be used for legal purposes.
A Deed of Mortgage
is a legal document that establishes a mortgage loan agreement between a borrower (mortgagor) and a lender (mortgagee). It serves as security for the loan, where the borrower pledges their property as collateral. The Deed of Mortgage outlines the terms and conditions of the loan, including the loan amount, interest rate, repayment terms, and the rights and responsibilities of both the borrower and the lender. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender may have the right to foreclose on the property and sell it to recover the outstanding debt.
A Deed of Surrender
is a legal document that terminates or cancels an existing lease or tenancy agreement between a landlord and a tenant. It is used when both parties agree to end the lease before its original term or when the tenant wants to voluntarily surrender the property back to the landlord. The Deed of Surrender outlines the terms and conditions of the termination, including any financial settlements, return of security deposits, and the handover of the property. It serves as proof that both parties have mutually agreed to end the lease agreement.
A Deed of Release
is a legal document that releases one party from certain obligations or liabilities related to a previous agreement or dispute. It is often used to formally settle a claim or dispute between two parties, where one party agrees to release the other party from any further legal action or liability. The Deed of Release outlines the terms and conditions of the release, including any financial settlements, waivers of claims, and the discharge of obligations. It serves as proof that both parties have agreed to release each other from any future claims or liabilities.
