Conveyancing

Conveyancing is designed for trainee solicitors studying applied land law on the Professional Practice Course in Ireland and will also be of benefit to practitioners. The manual offers complete coverage of all the knowledge needed when practising conveyancing, including the legal concept of property, and the protection, acquisition, and movement of proprietary interests. Featuring updated sample documentation and precedents illustrating the procedural aspects of conveyancing, this seventh edition has been fully revised to cover legislative changes, new practice directions, developments in property registration, and changes in taxation. References are also included to forthcoming reforms. The principles of conveyancing practice are clearly explained, making the book an essential reference for both trainees and practitioners in the field.1.
