Role of the Committee

The Conveyancing Committee provides information and guidance on conveyancing practice and procedure to conveyancing practitioners and monitors legislative, judicial and practice developments affecting the area of conveyancing, and landlord and tenant law. The Committee is representative of the profession as a whole and is composed of a broad mix of practitioners from small, medium and large sized practices both urban and rural. The objectives of the Committee are:

1. To release practice notes in the Gazette and the Conveyancing Handbook, alongside guidelines on various conveyancing matters.
2. To develop standardised conveyancing documents, which have become the norm within the profession.
3. To act in a representative capacity, the committee submits proposals to various entities on behalf of the Society and the profession.
4. To provide an extensive collection of conveyancing precedents for practitioner assistance, accessible under Precedents/Other Forms. Additionally, feedback and suggestions from professionals are encouraged and can be directed to the Secretary of the Committee at the Law Society..
