Drafting a Conveyance of Unregistered Title

Abstract

When called upon to draft a conveyance, your first instinct might be to turn immediately to a precedent book. You must remember that a precedent is your servant, not your master. You must know what sort of clauses your conveyance needs before you turn to the precedent for an appropriate form of words. You should not rely on the precedent to alert you to the necessity for the clause in the first place.
