conveyancing

conveyancing (k[schwa]n-vay-[schwa]n-sing). The act or business of drafting and preparing legal in-struments, esp. those (such as deeds or leases) that transfer an interest in real property.

“Conveyancing is the art or science of preparing documents and investigating title in connection with the creation and assurance of interests in land. Despite its connection with the word ‘conveyance’, the term in practice is not limited to use in connection with old system title but is used without discrimination in the context of all types of title.” Peter Butt, Land Law 7 (2d ed. 1988).

“Conveyancing may be regarded as the application of the law of real property in practice.” Robert E. Megarry & M.P. Thompson, A Manual of the Law of Real Property 125 (6th ed. 1993).
