Our Practice Areas
legal advice and representation which best suits your needs and interests.
The purchase or sale of land can be quite technical for e.g. the vendor has to ensure that the property which he purports to sell has good and marketable title as well as vacant possession, on the other hand, the Purchaser has to ensure that there is a good root and chain of title and that there are no encumbrances on the land which he/she is seeking to purchase.
We offer legal advice and representation for both either the Vendor or Purchaser during the process of conveying of land.
Additionally, we prepare Deeds of Gifts and other Deeds which are incidental to the transferal of land and ownership rights.
A Contract is a very important document for any business relationship whether it be Employer/Employee, Landlord/ Tenant, Principal/Agent, Business/ Contractor Creditor/Debtor etc.
Once you sign a contract you are bound by the four corners of that contract. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have an Attorney-at-law draft the contract you are seeking to rely on or have the Attorney-at-law peruse the contract before you sign, upon receipt so that you have a good foundation for your business relationship and/or an in depth understanding of your rights and obligations.
