Question:
What is the difference between A Governor’s Consent and A
Registered Conveyance?
Answer:
In Law,
Conveyance is the transfer of legal title of real property from one person to another,
or the granting of an encumbrance such as a mortgage or a lien.
A simple formula
is this. The first person on a virgin land that has neither been occupied by
another person nor under acquisition by the government is entitled to get a
Certificate Of Occupancy (C of O) on that land.
If that person
with the C of O decides to sell his land to another person after so many years,
that person must now obtain the Consent of the Governor before that transaction
can be deemed legal in the eyes of the Government. If the new buyer now decides
to sell the land again to a third owner in future, that third owner must also
obtain a new Consent of the Government before that transaction can be deemed
legal in the eyes of the Government and the process continues every time the
property changes hand to a new buyer.
In other words,
the first person on a land is the only person or group of persons entitled to
obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O). Every subsequent buyer of that land
must get a governor’s consent. There can only be one (1) owner of the
Certificate of Occupancy on the land and it will not be replicated for another
person once the land has been sold or transferred to another person.
