Change of Ownership

Convey Law | Property Law Specialists

When property ownership changes hands – whether by sale, gift, trust transfer, or separation – the legal process must be precise, timely, and tailored. Convey Law, New Zealand’s award-winning property lawyers, makes that process seamless.

 

Convey Law was named a Fast Firm in 2023 and 2024 and won Excellence Awards for Property & Construction Specialist Law Firm of the Year both years. In 2025, the recognition has only grown: Convey Law has been officially listed among the Top Specialist Firms in Australasia by NZ Lawyer.

 

Leading our property law division is John Jon, senior solicitor and one of New Zealand’s foremost authorities on conveyancing and property ownership structures. John also serves as a committee member of the Law Association of New Zealand, contributing actively to the advancement of the profession nationwide.
