planning on moving to Ghana soon 🇬🇭 🇯🇲❤

[@mgeorge162]

I want to able to pass my land on to my children and grand children.

[@GhanaBound]

You still can

[@Claribelle401]

You can but it's still up to the landowners.

[@wellnezz]

Thank you for the information!

[@GhanaBound]

Our pleasure! Are you buying land in Ghana soon?

[@kimoykalinago4154]

Wow my head hurts 😅 thanks for trying to clear it up though

[@GhanaBound]

We will definitely be going back to this very important issue. Do you have any specific questions you would like me to ask?

[@tyronegreen2412]

Earlier this year I bought a piece of land in Arkansas. The owner before me bought the land IN 19 0 1 and I guess the family kept up the taxes until it was sold. Seems like for land ownership. The more secure and straightforward way to online for generational wealth is in the United States and Africa. I would buy something cheap. Build something inexpensive. Because I know eventually, it's going to be a loss for me or my descendants. And of course without my knowledge expertise and understanding, if I don't live 2 or 300 years to defend the renewals and legals myself. It's going to be a loss.

[@secreteobsession3584]

Upsetting thats theres no freehold properties left . Why can't it be like Jamaica from when you buy a plot of land it is yours forever why does it have to be a lease hold who's got time to find the family or an organisation to renew the land contract after 50 or 70 years that's frustrating. That means it's not yours you'd lose interest if you didn't renew your land when you've built a property on there if you fell sick or died instantly the family would be distressed for renewal land why can't the land just be yours who moves to a country that you have to keep renewing after certain amount of time you might as well stay in the uk 😮.

[@GhanaIsreal99]

I was told you put your next of kin can be put under the emergency people that can speak for you and you can change ownership to other family members but have to contact the royal family and chief and a little one name to become older on it for emergency person who can speak for you and Property transfer to them

[@GhanaBound]

Hi I guess you need to seek the advice of a lawyer who would be able to advise you better.

[@Emvevo212]

This is why Nigeria will be far better than Ghana in this perspective. In Nigeria 🇳🇬, its FreeHold. In Nigeria, once you own it, you own it for life. LeaseHold in my opinion is the same mess in America where you pay taxes on a property for life simply because you dont own the land which means no freedom lol 😅😅

[@cindywebb9786]

Are there any special land ownership / leasing rules for AAs who have been declared to be from Ghanaian descent through using ancestry testing? Also, what does becoming a Ghanaian citizen mean in terms of land ownership?

[@mynameisnotimportant7336]

I hope Ghana makes it way easier for all people from The Americas and Caribbean to gain citizenship easily.

[@rassave]

You guys should be putting pressure on the African Union to make policies that bind on all member countries instead of demanding such things from the Individual countries

[@GhanaBound]

Hi it would mean you would have the same rights as any other citizen, in terms of land 99 Yr maximum lease instead of 50yrs max as a non citizen.

[@kwaseb]

You can and should naturalize at all cost...

[@victorialavington2392]

I am 100% African from my ancestors/parents?

[@melissadotson770]

What if through marriage is it not the right of the person to own free hold in marriages from a US person ? If person dies later no family or anyone can remove that person from the free hold after they build and invested with their spouse?

[@GhanaBound]

Freehold is hard to acquire even for Ghanaian Citizens. The lands commission automatically gives 99 years to Ghanaians

[@gigionthego187]

But will that land pass the the hires of the Ghanaian

[@Mr1Blackartist]

What happens if I marry a Ghanain?

[@foxygtv2177]

Ok, so once I become a citizen I will own that land understand my company then.

[@Claribelle401]

No, you still don't own the land. You are leasing the land

[@robertaggrey8266]

Best for people from the diaspora to get Ghanaian passport!

[@smam4221]

Hey My Man😃

[@lakebrothersmusicvideochannel]

If a foreigner married to a Ghanaian 15 years ago, does it qualify for a Ghana Passport?

[@lamahdenis2978]

Yes you can file for citizenship ​@@lakebrothersmusicvideochannel

[@andredoracle6326]

This was far from clear, and consise information. A crucial subject matter such as this needs a far more thorough, clear-cut explanation than this chap managed to provide. I'm afraid it was all a bit all over the place. No fault of the interviewer, though.

[@iTuber012]

That sums up how merky the system is in Ghana for buying land. Reform and simplification is needed

[@GhanaBound]

We will definitely be getting back to this very important subject, have you brought land in Ghana before?

[@BUILDAFRICAWORLDWIDE]

What if you marry a Ghanaian

[@gdotone1]

this is a mess. best to become a citizen and buy freehold land. don't do anything else.

[@GhanaBound]

Becoming a citizen is becoming easier which is great. Non citizens are not able to own Land.

[@gdotone1]

@@GhanaBound how? leasing land, leasing, in any form is not ownership? 50 years, 99 years, 1000 years. i would love to farm over a 1000 acres of land.

[@GhanaBound]

If you can find it only citizen can own freehold land. Non citizens can't do so.

[@anstaranstar]

Nonsense whose lands are you selling? Lands in zGhana are family owned and stool lands. That's nonsense

[@GhanaBound]

Hi which bits are nonsense i will happily ask any question you have and put it to our lawyer in the next episode we do on this very important subject.

[@ansongomari5078]

@@GhanaBound QUESTION IS WHOSE LANDS ARE YOU SELLING AND BY WHOSE AUTHORITY?

[@GhanaBound]

Oh ok so we have the documents for each developer that we work. Land searches are done. In a small case the land is owned by an individual not a family or chief and was been done before the rule change with court papers to prove the case. But in most cases people in Ghana who actually own freehold land do not sell it.i hope that answers your questions.
