Remote conveyancing is when a lawyer or notary hires a conveyancer on a contract basis. The conveyancer is paid on a per-file basis.

When hiring remote conveyancers, you want to be clear with the conveyancer about the level of service you are looking for.

Remote conveyancers generally limit their services to generating an agreed upon set of documents for your file. The lawyer or notary remains responsible for the ultimate provision of legal services to their clients.

If you are a lawyer or notary looking for remote conveyancing services, you want to ask the following questions:

• will you conduct the due diligence searches, or will I?
• if you are conducting the due diligence searches, will you use my account, or your own?
• will you conduct the client intake, or will I?
• which document generation programs are you trained in?
• what kind of turn-around time do you require?
• will you make adjustments to the documents if there are errors?
• when will you invoice me?
