Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You can get in trouble if you provide conveyancing services for money and you are not allowed to do so. You are allowed to provide conveyancing services if you are a lawyer, an incorporated law firm, a conveyancing practitioner, or an incorporated conveyancing firm. You can also provide conveyancing services if you are working under the supervision of a lawyer or conveyancing practitioner. You must check section 36 or section 388(5) to see if there are any exceptions to this rule. This means there may be some situations where you can provide conveyancing services even if you are not usually allowed to. You should look at these sections to understand the exceptions. If you want to know more about the rules for conveyancing services, you can look at the law that was in place before this one. This law is similar to the old one, but it has been updated. You can compare the two laws to see what has changed.
