conveyancer
conveyancer
Noun
pl: conveyancers
This term is primarily used in British, Australian, and New Zealand legal systems. In the United States, the functions of a conveyancer are typically performed by a real estate attorney or a title company agent, making the word "conveyancer" rare or nonexistent in American English.
Because it describes a specific professional role, it carries a formal, technical register. It is used almost exclusively in the context of property law and real estate transactions to denote the person responsible for the "conveyancing" process, which involves the legal transfer of title.
