A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States
John Bouvier · 1839
One who makes it his business to draw deeds of conveyance of lands for others. It is usual also for conveyancers to act as brokers for the buyer and seller. In these cases the conveyancer should examine with scrupulous exactness into the title of the lands which are conveyed by his agency, and, if this be good, to be very cautious that the estate be not encumbered. In cases of doubt he should invariably propose to his employer to take the advice of counsel. Conveyancers also act as brokers for the loan of money on real estate secured by mortgage. The same care should be observed in these cases.
