Licensed conveyancers who are not solicitors do exist but most people would use a solicitor's conveyancing department to purchase property. Certainly safer if any legal issues arose during the procedure.

It can be done by a professional conveyancer, but it is still mostly done by solicitors.

A judicial scrivener is a legal professional who deals with real estate matters, but is not an attorney.
Very similar to a conveyancer in the UK, who is also a legal professional dealing with real estate matters but not a member of the Law Society or a solicitor.
Maybe the fact that lawyers can perform the same services as a conveyancer is confusing for some.

I wasn't disagreeing that conveyancers handle real estate matters, just saying that I think it is far more common to use solicitors in the UK. Or at least it was when that was my job! Here, though, it seems using judicial scriveners is very common.Deep Blue wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 12:41 am https://www.realestate-tokyo.com/news/j ... -in-japan/

Aren't professional conveyancers quite a recent development as in the last forty years in the UK? It was Thatcher who was trying to open up the solicitors to competition.
