What Happens If I Die — Will My Family Still Own the Plot?

You are currently viewing What Happens If I Die — Will My Family Still Own the Plot?

No one likes to think about it, but every serious real estate investor — especially in the diaspora — eventually asks:

“If something happens to me, will my children or spouse lose the land?”
 “Will the estate honor the investment or will it become a battle?”

It’s a valid concern. In Nigeria, land inheritance can become complicated quickly if there’s no system in place. But at Awele Estate, this question has already been answered — clearly and legally.

1. Ownership Is Fully Documented — With Next of Kin Clauses

When you purchase land at Awele:

  • You receive a contract of sale
  • You’re issued an allocation letter
  • You can provide next of kin details
  • You are legally recognized as the plot owner

And if something happens to you, your documented next of kin has the right to inherit the plot — without court battles.

This is why documentation matters — and why Awele insists on it.

2. Your Name Goes on the Survey — and Can Be Assigned

Awele provides survey plans with:

  • Your full name
  • Coordinates of your plot
  • Option to assign or co-register ownership with your spouse or child

So even if you haven’t started building yet, your legal footprint is already visible on the land.

No ambiguity. No third-party interference.

3. The Estate Respects Documentation — Not Customary Claims

In unstructured land transactions, death often opens the door to:

  • Community land grabs
  • Legal disputes
  • Multiple claims on the same property

But Awele is a developer-controlled estate, meaning:

  • There are no “omo-onile” or community chiefs involved
  • Allocation is verified, tracked, and stored
  • Ownership is based on what’s signed — not what’s said

Your family inherits what you paid for.

4. You Can Update and Transfer Anytime

If your circumstances change, Awele allows you to:

  • Update your next of kin
  • Transfer ownership (with proper documentation)
  • Will or gift the plot formally

This flexibility is essential for diaspora buyers with evolving family structures.

5. Diaspora Clients Are Already Securing Generational Ownership

Many buyers in the UK, US, and Canada are:

  • Buying in their children’s names
  • Setting up joint ownership with spouses
  • Storing all land documents digitally and securely

And estates like Awele, covered by BusinessDay, are leading the way in bringing legal clarity to real estate in the East (BusinessDay).

Life happens. But your investment should not disappear with you.
