About

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 committee regularly publishes practice notes in the Gazette and in its Conveyancing Handbook, together with guidelines on various conveyancing issues. It also produces a range of standardised conveyancing documents that have become the accepted standard in the profession. In its representative role, the committee makes submissions to various bodies on behalf of the Society and the profession. Further details are available under Resources.

The committee also publishes an extensive range of conveyancing precedents for the assistance of practitioners – these are available under Precedents/Other Forms.

Comments and suggestions from members of the profession are always welcome and may be forwarded to the Secretary of the Committee at the Law Society.
