Concise Precedents In Conveyancing: Adapted To The Act For Simplifying The Transfer Of Property, 7 & 8 Vict., Cap. 76 : With Practical Notes And Observations On The Act by Charles Davidson. Concise Precedents In Conveyancing is a practical legal manual that updates traditional conveyancing precedents to the Act to simplify the transfer of property. Davidson compiles concise forms for deeds, leases, mortgages, settlements, and other assurances, designed to reduce repeated recital and boilerplate language while remaining fully compliant with the statute. The work opens with a Preface and Introduction clarifying the Act’s aims, including elimination of unnecessary descriptions, removal of nominal consideration, and the replacement of old livery and indenture forms with modern deeds. It includes a broad collection of precedents (covering agreements for leases, conveyances by vendor and purchaser, mortgages, partitions, assignments, and settlements), together with notes on the Act’s operation, stamp duties, and the management of contingent and executory interests. Additional commentary pages discuss practical drafting considerations and references to authorities, making it a valuable reference for conveyancers and legal practitioners.
