FREQUENT DRAFTING ERRORS IN LAND DOCUMENTATION:
1. Use of 'Mr & Mrs John Briggs Ime' when drafting a land document over property purchased by couples; husband and wife, rather than ' Mr John Briggs Ime & Mrs Joy Briggs Ime'.

2. Skipping including "Registered Trustees of ..
Or Incorporated Trustees of...." for juristic persons registered under Part C of CAMA.

3. Vague description of land, and non reference to Survey Plan No. and Beacon/Pillar No.s

4. Vague recitals and error of copy and paste.


MUST DOS:
1. Ensure all pages/every page of Land Document/Deeds are signed by all parties.

2. Ensure the Deed is clear as to whether the transfer is a Leasehold(for a term of years) or a Freehold(outright).

3. Investigate and ascertain outstanding ground rent where property is covered by Certificate of Occupancy before purchase.

4. Ascertain if property is subject of litigation (lis pendens).
