I think it's not necessary to include the non-legal definition of conveyance in this article (transport, etc...) it is, after all, an article about the law and not engineering. Is the term used in that sense in the legal context ever, or is it restricted to the granting of rights in property?

Is there any support for the idea that, in the near future, land records will be computerized? I think that, without at least some support, this assertion should come out of the article. Currently, in the US at least, most land records are not computerized and I am unaware of any movement to computerize them in the near future, much less make computerization mandatory. If this is the case in other parts of the world, it should be clearly indicated.

A conveyance is, according to Black's, a transfer not just of title, but of any legal interest. Thus the term may be used in reference to mortgages, liens, etc... The definition given at the beginning of this article is perhaps a bit too narrow because it refers only to a conveyance of title.

Conveyance was the term used in the movie Demolition Man for vehicles, it is another definition of conveyance, which kind of just means transfering or moving (ie car, contract, person). I believe conveyance needs a disambiguation.

In British Columbia for my sale of a flat the solicitor (of the beginning) made mandatory that each parties (buyer and seller) had their own legal representant. 216.86.113.233 ( talk) 01:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC) I bought a house and the seller used the same firm. This is by far easier and lead to a much faster move. There are firms out there that have branches and this is how the same firm can represent both sides. I used Arc Property Solicitors in Harrogate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.11.7.174 ( talk) 11:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
The flags have been up on this article for ten and eight years. It is clear that no editor is inclined to respond. I would have thought the whole concept of conveyancing depends on whether or not citizens have the right to own property in a particular country (although, of course, 'owning' is a most ambiguous word). I think the Soviet system abolished the right, and there may be other examples. Secondly, the right to hold long-term tenancies has not been universal. The issue touches the heart of societies and the nature of citizenship in various societies. Pressing on with this, the issue of "the pale" in Imperial Russia needs noting. In restricted areas presumably the rights of conveyancing were not universally applied. I think our article on property rights is defective as also lacking a consideration of societies which do not have conventional property rights, and the consequences thereof.
