Demystifying Conveyancing Law: A Resource for Special Needs Education

Conveyancing law is always around us, regardless of whether you realise it or not.

It’s the handover that happens when people move house, or when money changes hands in transactions relating to land use.

But for those of us living in communities where special needs become an issue, there are elements of property law that are much more relevant to our experience. The following text will cover the core facts about conveyancing in a way that’s both clear and useful to those who are coming to information about the subject for the first time.

While you could certainly spend years studying land law and the procedures surrounding the transfer of rights relating to that law from one person to another, knowing the fundamentals is enough to help parents and educators grasp the context in which they’re working with special needs children.

At its simplest, the process of transferring property from one party to another refers to conveyancing. The party receiving the property is generally referred to as the transferee, while the person who loses a particular property is known as the transferor. The process covers residential homes, but also businesses, farmland, apartments and a wide range of other structures.

The process can seem a little daunting and complex at times, but when you break it down into its simplest elements you will see that conveyancing is simply about transferring property from one person or organisation to another. That’s all happened before and it will happen again in the future many times. The fact that there is ample space for errors, issues, and arguments to emerge does not impact on the fact that conveyancing itself is a relatively simple task.

The same logic can be used to explain why conveyancing is so important to families and children in the special needs community. It’s just a necessary process to follow for those who are involved in it!

When you apply this logic to children with special needs there is more context to consider. You will often find that educational facilities that cater for special needs kids require consistent investment in improved facilities. Typically, grants and funding are essential to make any changes to the spaces that special needs children are learning in.

What does the process of conveyancing result in? The answer to that question is simple. A transfer of property. Without that process teams and parents in the special needs community would have a much more difficult time securing the right premises. By learning a little about the process of conveyancing you will be in a better position to support your children with special needs.

The vast majority of land that’s being transferred in a conveyancing process is modified in some way. For example, the land that the average child is learning on differs from the land that the average child learned on in 1910. It is important to understand these differences in order to get a better idea of what your child’s special needs might be.

It’s worth noting that one of the biggest challenges parents with special needs kids face is getting their young ones the right level of support. When you create a resource to support your child with special needs you can’t simply wait around and hope it’s ready when everyone else wants it to be ready. Everybody has to pull together to make those resources available.
