Conveyancing, in its most basic term, is the branch of law concerned with the preparation of documents for the transferring of property. The phrase is frequently employed in real estate deals when buyers and sellers transfer ownership of a plot of land, structure, or house. A conveyance is accomplished through the use of an instrument of conveyance, which can be a contract, lease, title, or deed. The agreement specifies the agreed purchase price, the transfer date, the obligations and liabilities of both parties, and other pertinent information.

Types of Conveyances

Real Estate Conveyances

Beyond residential real estate, the term "conveyance" has broad legal implications. The sale deed is another name for the conveyance in the majority of real estate transactions. Sales deeds fall under the category of conveyance, which itself includes other types of conveyance.

Mineral Rights Conveyances

The oil and gas sector is also affected by conveyance. Conveyance refers to agreements that give the company ownership of or rights to specific parcels of land because the land is a type of real estate with attached rights. Conveyances are used to establish the right of way for a company's operations on a landowner's property, but the most typical type is a contract granting mineral rights without transferring the title of the land. Of course, the landowner receives payment in exchange for ceding these rights to the exploration business.

What do Conveyancing Lawyers do?

Immovable property ownership is not transferred upon execution of the offer to purchase document or even upon full payment of the purchase price. Only after the property is registered in the buyer's name at the Deeds Registry Office does ownership become official.
