TIMI, the AI Companion For Every Young Lawyer
@LawPavilion is raising the bar with a new App to ease the work of young Lawyers, particularly new wigs.
TIMI is Nigeria's First Artificial Intelligence Legal Assistant designed to assist lawyers with legal research, legal opinions, litigation, and legal drafting. With TIMI, a new wig will have access to the LawPavilion Electronic Law Reports, LPELR (online version); be able to chat with TIMI on Civil Procedure and litigation Rules and also get assistance on precedent Forms and Agreement Templates.
Imagine the possibilities if you could draft an originating process, a motion or any other court process, without getting stuck or confused, when you chat with TIMI; she can give you a step-by-step guide on how to go about filing or drafting those processes. Also, she provides notes with legal authorities, to support Civil procedure principles. This quick and easy access would definitely aid legal research and collation of relevant data to draft processes.
There is no other application that guides a young lawyer this way. Follow @lawpavilion and you may be the first person to meet Timi 🙂🚀.

Dear property investor,
.
This allows a purchaser to discover from a mere inspection of the register whether the vendor has the power to sell the land and whether or not there are interests on the land that may be investigated.
.
.
The property register contains detailed description and gives other information of the property that is registered while the proprietorship register contains the name, address, and description of the registered owner of the property. It also contains cautions, inhibitions and restrictions affecting the right of the proprietor to dispose the title.
When buying property it is important you do the following:
i. Inspect the property with the vendor to ensure that is what you agreed on.
ii. Insist on collecting a copy of the land certificate from the vendor. The land certificate contains the particulars by which the property will be identified at the lands registry.
iii. Employ the services of a lawyer who would investigate at the land registry whether the purchaser has the power to sell the property.
Do you have any questions? Send a DM #property #propertylawyer #law #nigerianlawyer #legalnaija #AO&Co.

How To Catch A Judgment Debtor
This is a judicial process whereby a judgment creditor can recover such debt owed to the judgment debtor. For instance, if Mr. A gets a judgment against Mr. B, Mr. A can ask the court to help collect Mr B's money from Mr C (a bank) who in turn owes Mr. B money.
Usually Mr C in this scenario can be Mr B's bankers. If you ask any further questions on this topic, kindly send a DM or mail.
