Law of Conveyancing, Precedents & Forms

Law of Conveyancing, Precedents & Forms is a hands-on, practice-oriented manual for drafting and executing property transactions. The book collects annotated precedents and ready-to-use forms — sale deeds, lease deeds, mortgage deeds, gift deeds, partition deeds, powers of attorney, conveyance mappings and more — accompanied by drafting notes, stamp-duty and registration checklists, and jurisdictional compliance tips. Each precedent includes clauses explained line-by-line, common negotiation variants, pitfalls to avoid, and cross-references to relevant statutes and leading cases. Practical chapters cover due diligence and title verification, encumbrance checks, drafting for development agreements and mortgages, handling rural and agricultural transfers, and procedural workflows for registration and mutation. Appendices supply model notices, sample affidavits, specimen formats for searches and an index of clause libraries for quick reuse. Designed for busy practitioners, revenue officers, developers and law students, this book converts complex doctrine into usable documents and workflow templates—saving drafting time, reducing transactional risk and improving client outcomes.
