The conveyancing process involves so many details that it can be overwhelming to keep track of all the tasks you need to complete. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the process and offers practice points to ensure that it proceeds as smoothly as possible.

Participants (either you or your support staff) will have access to all the documents typically used in a conveyance, as well as invaluable checklists, sample forms, and practical demonstrations.

The course is taught by a diverse and experienced faculty of lawyers, senior conveyancers, and government representatives who will guide participants through the process and answer any questions they may have. By taking this course, participants can increase their confidence and speed in performing conveyancing tasks.

After taking this course, participants will be able to:

have a clear understanding of the entire conveyancing process
appreciate the legal reasons behind the technical steps involved in a conveyance
handle unusual circumstances that can occur in a conveyance
avoid the most common errors that arise in conveyances
