Conveyancing Process for Professionals

​​​​​​​​​​​​The Land Titles Office has two parallel processes: 

  • electronic conveyancing, and
  • paper-based conveyancing.

Where possible, these processes will have the same requirements to ensure the security of the Register of land (the Register) maintained by the Recorder pursuant to section 33 of the Land Titles Act 1980 is preserved regardless of the process used.​
