In Brazil, property transactions are typically handled by tabeliões (notaries) who work in cartórios (notary offices), which are official government-regulated institutions. In the UK and Commonwealth countries, conveyancers are specialized legal professionals who can be independent licensed practitioners or solicitors. The profession is highly regulated to ensure proper transfer of property rights and protection of buyers and sellers. In the USA, real estate attorneys handle similar functions, though the term 'conveyancer' is less commonly used.
