The Selling House Divorce Agreement is a specialized legal document used in Nigeria when divorcing spouses need to sell their matrimonial home as part of their divorce settlement. This document is particularly important as it must comply with both Nigerian property law requirements (including the Land Use Act 1978) and matrimonial law provisions. It's typically used when there's mutual agreement to sell the property or when mandated by a court order. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as property valuation, distribution of proceeds, timing of the sale relative to the divorce proceedings, and necessary governmental approvals. It protects both the divorcing parties' interests and ensures the buyer receives clear title. The document becomes especially relevant when the property represents a significant matrimonial asset and requires careful handling to ensure fair distribution and legal compliance.
