Synopsis
The Accomplish'D Conveyancer: Containing The Nature And Kinds Of Deeds And Instruments Used In Conveyancing : And An Abridgment Of The Law Relating To All Sorts Of Conveyances And Deeds In General, With Every Thing Belonging To Them : Proved By Many Law-Cases And Resolutions Thereupon : And Also, Giles Jacob This volume provides a dense, practical catalogue of English legal instruments used in real property and debt transactions. It functions as a drafting reference rather than a narrative, organizing forms, clauses, and interrelationships among grantors, grantees, trustees, mortgagees, tenants, and executors. Key topics include transfer and security of land (conveyances, leases, reversions, fee simple), debt instruments (mortgages, bonds, recognizances), trusts and powers, defeasance and remedies, indemnities and insurance, survivorship and shares, and revocation or alteration of uses. Representative documents cover collateral security and multi-party mortgages, defeasance deeds, assignments to trustees, long-term leases, declarations of trusts and uses, revocations, releases, reconveyances, and charges. While the phrasing is archaic and highly formulaic, the work provides boilerplate language for model deeds, settlements, and arrangements securing title, payment, and future interests. Aimed at lawyers, surveyors, and conveyancers, it reflects 18th–19th century English conveyancing practice and the machinery of property transfer and security.
