In Nigeria alone, billions of naira in unclaimed benefits, pensions, dividends, and estates slip through cracks every year. These funds are lost to banks, governments, and sometimes even strangers — while rightful families are left in poverty. According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ₦190 billion in unclaimed dividends currently sits idle in registries. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has also issued new rules for dormant accounts and unclaimed balances, underscoring how widespread the problem is.

For many high-earning professionals, the risk isn’t hypothetical. Without proper legal structures, everything you have worked for, your real estate, pensions, shares, intellectual property, or business could be tied up in bureaucracy, disputes, or lost altogether.

This is where Sols Legal comes in. We exist to make sure your wealth doesn’t vanish into the billions already unclaimed.

The Hidden Risks Professionals Face

Most corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals are excellent at building wealth. But without preservation strategies, they are exposed to risks such as:

• Unclaimed pensions and benefits due to poor documentation during career changes.
• Fragmented ownership of real estate and investments, often without clear succession planning.
• Family disputes arising from lack of wills, trusts, or succession agreements.
• Tax inefficiencies that silently drain accumulated wealth.

At Sols Legal, we have seen these gaps firsthand. Our legal team doesn’t just advise on documents, we design comprehensive Wealth Preservation Frameworks that protect your assets and ensure they pass smoothly to your heirs.

The Nigerian Reality: Billions Lost Every Year

• ₦190 billion in unclaimed dividends: Reported by the SEC, many investors and their families never receive the payouts owed to them.
• Dormant accounts & estates: The CBN confirmed the need for new rules in 2024 because too many financial assets were lying idle and disconnected from beneficiaries.
• Court delays & disputes: Probate processes in Nigeria can drag for years if estates are not properly structured — leaving families exposed.

This isn’t just about statistics. It’s about the child who loses access to education because their parent’s pension is tied up, or the widow left destitute because property ownership was never properly documented.

Sols Legal was established to prevent such tragedies.
