Conveyancing is a critical legal process in both English-speaking countries (particularly the UK, USA, and Australia) and in Brazil. In the US, conveyancing is typically handled by real estate attorneys or title companies. In Brazil, the process involves official registration at the Cartório de Registro de Imóveis (Real Estate Registry Office) and is a more bureaucratic procedure. The term is more commonly used in UK and Commonwealth legal systems; in the US, it's often referred to simply as a 'real estate transaction' or 'closing.'
