Conveyance is the act of transferring property from one party to another. The term is commonly used in real estate transactions when buyers and sellers transfer ownership of land, building, or home. A conveyance is done using an instrument of conveyance?a legal document such as a contract, lease, title, or deed.
But is a notice of interest the same as a property lien? Not necessarily. While a notice of interest is the first step towards filing a property lien, it does not indicate a lien has necessarily been filed.
In Ontario, title transfers can only be completed by a lawyer. This ensures the change of ownership is documented accurately, and keeps you, the buyer, from being burdened with the details and complexities of the title transfer process.
The most common way to transfer property is through a general warranty deed (sometimes called a "grant deed"). A general warranty deed guarantees good title from the beginning of time. A special warranty deed only guarantees good title during the seller's time of ownership.
Involuntary conveyance is the transfer of real property without the owner's consent. This can take place in cases of condemnation due to neglect or natural disaster, failure to pay taxes, or the death of a property owner with no direct heirs.
