conveyancer
Deed transfer specialist
A conveyancer is a legal professional who handles the transfer of property ownership from one party to another.
In most jurisdictions, conveyancers prepare and review documents, conduct title searches, and ensure all legal requirements are met before a property sale closes.
We hired a conveyancer to handle the paperwork on our new house.
