Due Diligence: Lessons from Mr. Pennywise

Good Morning Friends!

Following the volume of questions, we received, from the “The Story of Mr. Pennywise” we have decided to extend the feature by ‘re-emphasizing’ the Lessons/Moral of the Story. Yay! 💃💃

Due Diligence simply means investigation and it includes but not limited to the process of:

a. confirmation of the Title Documents,
b. the coordinates on the Survey Plan are examined,
c. ascertaining whether the land falls within Government Acquisition,
d. the extent of it’s Set back is not left out,
e. interview of the potential Seller(s)
f. physical inspection of the Property etc.,

👉When it comes to investing in Real Estate, there is no such thing as trust.

👉There is equally no such thing as “it’s only half plot of land in the outskirt of town” so, I don’t think I need to carry out Due Diligence, all I need is for a Lawyer to prepare an Agreement.


👉Once negotiation starts, get a lawyer involved, a lawyer has the requisite training to carry out Due Diligence.

👉Where the land is Family Property, there is need to confirm the particulars of the beneficiaries of the Estate, ascertain that the consent of all relevant parties have been obtained.

👉Where the land is owned by an Individual or Corporation, there are equally legal hurdles to cross.


👉Other legal issues are whether there is a pending litigation, confirmation of the authenticity of Letters of Administration in applicable cases amongst so many other germane questions to be asked by a Legal Practitioner.

Would you like to conduct Due Diligence on a Property you’re about to buy? Then reach out to our team of lawyers on WhatsApp: 08150949947.

Thank You!

Good Morning Nigeria, Last week on the family-law-series, we discussed the feature tagged: Make a Will: Not a death wish! It was an engaging session as our inbox was loaded with questions, which we tried to answer within the confines of law. This week, we have decided to share some of those questions with you while modifying them for illustration sake.👏 Problem 1: Mr. Social Media married Miss. Instagram at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry on the 27th day of January, 1986. The marriage was dissolved by the High Court of Lagos State sitting at Ikeja Judicial Division on the 2nd day of April, 2012. Custody of the 3 children of the marriage was given to Miss. Instagram.  Prior to the dissolution of the marriage, Mr. Social Media had made a Will on the 21st day of August, 2002, wherein his 5 properties were devised and/or given to Miss. Instagram and her 3 children. In 2013, Mr. Social Media married Miss. Twitter at the Ikeja Marriage Registry and they had 2 children. Mr. Social M...

Its Wednesday the 30th day of October, 2019. Our feature on the Family-Law-Series 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦  is tagged: MAKE A WILL:Not a death wish! In view of the nature of this platform, and our targeted audience, this discourse will be limited to basic knowledge and devoid of legal terminologies (as much as possible). We will consider 6 talking points, subtitled: "THE 6 W'S OF WILLS" our aim with these talking points is to answer “often asked” questions about WILLS. 1. What is a will? 2. Who can make a will? 3. Why do I need a will? 4. What makes a will valid? 5. What can be done to protect my will? 6. What if I change my mind? WHAT IS A WILL? 🤔 A will is a written document, that states in details, the way and manner the maker’s properties are to be disposed, shared, distributed etc., upon death. These properties, include money, houses, cars, pets, land, money in the bank account, pension fund etc. WHO CAN MAKE A WILL? 🤔 🤔 Generally, any sane person above...

Good Morning Colleagues, My name is ‘Tosin Ajose Popoola, I practice in Ibadan, Oyo State of Nigeria and my focus areas are Commercial Litigation, Family Law and Employment Law. I’m passionate about litigation. In summary I’m a Court Girl. I have titled today’s session 👉"Defining and Treading Your Path Timeously and Diligently” In recent times, I have referred to myself as a content creator and I have adopted a lot of techniques in creating my contents, one of those techniques is storytelling, so permit me to tell a short story. I was called to the bar in November, 2012. After the call, I was clueless, I didn’t know what I wanted out of the profession or where I wanted to go. I just wanted to be a successful lawyer! At my father’s instance I started a career in litigation, while in the PATH of litigation, I found the job interesting but not financially rewarding. In a quest for “something” more financially rewarding, I started my Masters’ Program. Few months into the Mas...
