Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You must pay a practising fee every year if you are a conveyancing practitioner. The New Zealand Society of Conveyancers sets the amount of the fee. You can find out more about how the fees are published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Society uses the money from the fees to fund its regulatory work. You pay the fee in the way the practice rules say. The Minister must approve the fees before they are set. The fees can be different for different types of conveyancing practitioners.
