MrMcJay:
* How do how I protect myself from being defrauded?
Get a registered surveyor to pick the physical coordinates of the land and chart it at the Surveyor-General's office to be sure it falls outside government acquisition. The seller's survey may be fraudulently done to show the land is free.
Thereafter, get a lawyer to conduct due diligence and verification of the land before you pay a Kobo.

* Do I request for receipts monthly?
You can request for receipts for each time paid whether weekly, monthly or quarterly. If obtaining a receipt is too cumbersome, pay by bank cash deposit and keep copies of the payment slip.

* What documents should I request for pending the time I complete payment?
Ask your lawyer to prepare a Contract of Sale outlining the understanding between both parties.

* What documents should I request for when I complete payment?
Deed of Assignment, Contract of Sale, Full payment receipt.

* What happens should this man die before the completion of payment?
Good question. If he dies, he's incapable of transferring title to you. Your money has entered voicemail. Whether your case can be remedied or not depends on how smart your lawyer is. That's why instalment payments are discouraged. One step to protect yourself is to ensure that the seller introduces you to representatives of the omoniles he bought from. Actually, there are several ways out. Talk to your lawyer about this.

* What other things can I do to make sure he keeps to his own side of the bargain, if I keep to mine?
Get your Contract of Sale executed by a Magistrate, Notary public or Commissioner of Oaths.
