Importance of Conveyance

The question arises, what is the importance or advantage of the conveyancing system. The importance arises out of the legal system prevailing in the society. The society which recognises private ownership of property and is governed by the Rule of Law much have necessarily laws governing rights and obligations of persons owning properties or otherwise and the laws governing rights and obligations of properties or otherwise are required to be in consonance with the law.

Every Deed & Documentation relating to property or other commercial transaction has to be based on the law relating thereto, otherwise the document may prove to be illegal or ineffective and so also the transaction represented by it. That is where Conveyancing comes and becomes a branch of the legal system and practice.
It is said that technically speaking conveyancing is an art of drafting deeds whereby the land or any interest in the land is transferred by one person to another but it is submitted that conveyance is properly called an expertise or technique sense as is understood by some.
