Conveyancer Signature Requirements

Summary

In South Africa, the preparation certificate of a certificate of registered title must be signed by a conveyancer, not an attorney or notary unless they are qualified conveyancers. Corrections to deeds must be made by the conveyancer, not the deeds controller, and involve striking out incorrect information and initialling the correction. The Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937 governs these processes. Processing a deed generally takes 7 to 10 working days.
