Good morning everyone, I have an issue at hand.
My late dad bought a land somewhere in Enugu in the year 2004. Now my family wants to sell the land in other to fund my younger brother for a new business he wants to venture into. My issue now is that, this piece of land doesn't have any official document like C of O or any sort. The only thing my mum could provide is some kinda paper they used in surveying the land before the purchase. So am kindly asking for you guys help on how to go about it.

the land beonged to her late father and isnt family land. 2. Power of attorney doesnt convey good title to a buyer.

Op wants to play fast one on his family or u think we don't know? Nobody should give any idea biko.

If the survey plan is still eligible to read, the surveyor signature and name must be printed or written on it, that's is the first point to investigate that may lead to the first owner.
Or, you can advertise that the land is for sale and also at Enugu State land matters gazette for 21 days, when no objection is raised.You can proceed to go ahead and sell. Involve a lawyer at a little fee, preferably a female solicitor.
But you people might be taking a risk, why sell a land to finance a new business which has a probability of not succeeding within it's first seven years.
Interrogate your brother to present a business plan.
Finally, which area in Enugu is the land located?

lordyugo:



first of all confirm if there hv been any form of encroachment since its been 13yrs.u hv diff options
1 locate the previous owners and tell them u want to do another agreement but in ur bros name and it will cost a lil money depending on the area.

2 u can as well go wit the potential buyers to meet the previous owners so he confirms from the family. Note even if u hv all the required documents you will still meet the previous owners.standard practice.

3 once u hv confirmed the beacons are still intact u can register the survey plan at lands, it will gv the buyers confidence ,am sure the land is at d outskirts of enugu, so dnt worry bout c of o its strictly adhered to when its an urban area.

4 if u can get a good forge artist to forge ur dads signature then u can do d transfer in ur bros name, u can meet all these fine artists .they are gud.

5 u can meet a lawyer to help u process for letters of administration which might take time and money.

sale of land gets difficult if its in an urban area without relevant documents but outskirts and rural all u need worry bout is settling the previous owners cos its standard practice and hoping there is no encroachment.
My advice if its not urban ,heed advice 1 and 2
if its urban then go for letters of administration and register or chk if the survey plan is registered

Bad Belle Demon,nothing good ever comes from you. Now back to the issue at hand,
If your late dad is the owner you need a letter of administration which can be quite cumbersome, or you go back to the family that sold it to your dad initially,which may be a lot easier if they are ready to help you,you can't sell a dead persons property without a letter of Administration from a High Court. Once you can obtain the Letter of Administration,everything becomes easy, get a lawyer to write an agreement in accordance with the provisions of section 34 of the Land Use Act.

I have a feeling that someone is out to cheat others. Here in East, women don't get overtly concerned on how to sell family land. You have a brother that needs to be funded through the sale of the said property, let him do it not you woman. By the way there is no way a man bought a property as recently as 2004 in Enugu without a deed. It is may be somebody who does not want the land to be sold in with the DEED.

Your stupidity can't just be passed without a glance. Women don't get overtly concern about family land Really? for fvck sake dude this is a nuclear family not your extended one. Tryna calm down and read the part that said my youngie. And how recent is your own 2004, cause the last time I checked even Paul Pogba wouldn't have gone for the least 30million pounds.

Truth hurts and you can go on cursing till eternity but I assure you, it won't change what I wrote. I have seen ladies like you trying to sell off their family property but failed when they thought the deal has been done. I will advise you not to embark on the this journey if you are out to short change your people only to use the proceeds for bleaching cream and Peruvian weaves.

Karidqueen:


Thanks... You've gotten the attention, Oya face front. I pray someone from afar jumps into your business next time without knowing the truth behind it

Thanks for the wonderful advice. I think the land is located in the outskirt part of Enugu

PropertiesNaija:


Kadridqueen,

The assumption is that your late dad actually bought it from someone, and was not given as a gift (otherwise, there should be proof of what he did to merit the gift), so there would be a receipt of payment stating the date and the names of the transferor and transferee (your dad). Also, being a communal land, there may not be any deed of assignment. Another assumption is that, the land is still the way your dad bought it, or at most any further improvement on it was done by your late dad, and not by another party.
Now, let's take it from there.. The survey plan alone cannot be a valid document of transfer. Hence, you should be able to produce at least the receipt of sale. To transfer your interest in this land, you need proof of ownership and that's what the receipt does. So, let's assume your dad died intestate (without will) you will need a letter of administration from the High Court Registry (your lawyer will guide you) to empower you to transfer the estate of your dad. An affidavit will do justice to the fact that you can't find the receipt.. This will suffice in the absence of any evidence to the contrary.
And if the property falls under a will from your dad to someone else, then that person alone can transfer the interest in it (except if the person is a minor).
You can then further consolidate the documents at hand by asking your surveyor or lawyer for help.. The reason being that, it helps in marketability and also increases the value of the property.
