DON'T BUY THAT PROPERTY WITHOUT YOUR LAWYER'S AWARENESS.
One of the ways to acquire property safely is to engage a lawyer to guide you on conducting proper search and do due diligence. It saddens that many people are now passionate to rush and buy land or a building before calling to involve a lawyer to only prepare legal documents for them. That's wrong and risky.
However, the fair thing such lawyer can do is to ask if you have personally conducted proper search and due diligence to know whether the property is not encumbered or has issues. If you lie and say you have done the needful, such Lawyer would not be held responsible for preparing the document if you later have issues on that property since you have refused to tell the Lawyer the truth.
So, why must you wait till after you acquire a property before you engage the service of your lawyer?
I know someone who acquired a land, developed and built a house on it and after many years, the sellers came back and deny selling such land to him.
Upon further enquiry, it was discovered that there was no legal land Agreement document to show that the man truly bought the land from the same sellers. Confused, he failed to see a lawyer for legal advice to save him and was forced to pay another money for that land against his interest.
Don't be like that man. Consult your lawyer on everything on property acquisition for peace and safety over your hard earned properties.

HOW TO RELOCATE ABROAD WITH A CHILD BORN OUTSIDE WEDLOCK TO ANOTHER MAN OR WOMAN OR A CHILD WHOSE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS ARE NO LONGER LIVING TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE.
WHY YOU MUST TAKE THE NECESSARY LEGAL STEPS TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS.

You are with a child born outside wedlock to another man or woman or you have a child (in your full custody & guardianship) whose either biological parents are no longer living together as husband and wife and you want to relocate to a country outside Nigeria. It's okay. But, now that you want to go with your child, you noticed you have a problem, that is, you are not sure that the father or mother of your child will allow you to travel with your child, probably because either parents are not accessible.
Meanwhile, since the child is living with you, this should have been easy for you to do but there are three major obstacles you are facing. Firstly, you cannot get a passport for your child without the consent of the other parent (who is or are not accessible). Secondly, if the child is a minor, most embassies will not give visa to a minor child without the consent of the other biological parent of the child who may be required to show up with his ID (except it is proved beyond every possibility of doubt that the child's parents have died). Thirdly, at the airport, the immigration authority will not clear you to board the flight with a child unless you are traveling with the other parent or you have a consent letter from the other parent. And, even with a consent letter, they will still call the other parent to confirm. So, the biological father or mother of your child can really frustrate you without doing or saying anything to help.
If you are faced with this kind of challenge, there is a way to get around it than getting a mere Affidavit of change of name for the child.

One of the funniest things I've heard as a business lawyer is that registration of your Company/Organisation or business name to obtain CAC Certificate or Money Lender's Certificate alone are all the legal need of a small business (or SMEs), Corporate Organisations, Associations or Cooperatives who are into the business of selling products & services, money transactions, lending monies and debts recovery. No, there's more to that.

Having a proper legal foundation, support and remedies to avoid financial loss/risks are the bedrock of any successful business of selling products & services, money transactions, money lending and debts recovery and believe me, there are a whole lot of legal logistics to be checked when it comes to the legal aspect of your business.

Except you want to continue playing small to suffer financial loss and risks, I've never seen a great business without having a solid legal foundation, support and remedy to sustain growth and relevance.

Ready to set up a proper legal foundation, support and remedy for your business beyond CAC registrations and/or Money Lending registrations?
