What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the process of transferring legal title in an asset from the Vendor to the Purchaser. Conveyancers or lawyers that practice conveyancing facilitate transfers of ownership between parties to a real estate (property) or a business transaction (chattel).
Conveyancing for a real estate transaction begins when the vendor provides the buyer with a section 32 statement and a contract of sale. It ends when the title to that particular piece of property is transferred to the purchaser's name at the Land Titles Office.
Conveyancing for a business transaction begins when the vendor provides the purchaser with a section 52 statement (this requirement is exempt in some circumstances: see here) and a contract of sale. It ends when the legal ownership of all the nominated business assets are transferred to the purchaser.
