Conveyancing is the legal procedure for transferring real property from one owner to another. Real property is property that cannot be moved, such as land and buildings, as distinct from personal property. Conveyancing involves both a contract to transfer the property and proof of the title (right to possess the property). In countries where the legal profession is divided into barristers and solicitors, solicitors normally carry out conveyancing. Some countries allow people who are not lawyers to qualify as conveyancers, and buyers or sellers may carry out their own conveyancing if they wish.
