Frequently Asked Questions
Things we get asked a lot
While you are not legally required to engage a solicitor for conveyancing in Queensland, having an experienced property solicitor can help identify potential issues, explain your rights and obligations, and ensure your transaction proceeds as smoothly as possible.
Our fees vary depending on the type of transaction and complexity of the matter. We provide fixed-fee pricing wherever possible and will provide you with a clear costs disclosure before commencing work.
Ideally, you should seek legal advice before signing a contract. We can review the contract, explain any special conditions and identify any issues that may affect your decision to proceed.
A conveyancer is licensed to assist with property transactions, such as buying and selling residential property. Their work is generally limited to conveyancing matters.
A lawyer (solicitor) can also handle conveyancing transactions but is additionally qualified to provide legal advice on a broader range of issues that may arise during the transaction, including contract disputes, deceased estates, family law considerations, trusts, business structures, easements, caveats and complex property matters.
At RMT Legal, all conveyancing matters are handled directly by an experienced solicitor. This means that if an issue arises during your transaction, you have access to comprehensive legal advice without needing to engage another professional.
For straightforward transactions, both conveyancers and solicitors can assist with the conveyancing process. However, where a matter becomes complex or legal issues arise, having a solicitor involved from the outset can provide additional peace of mind and help ensure your interests are fully protected.
Verification of Identity is a legal requirement for many property transactions. We will guide you through the process and let you know what identification documents you need to provide.
You should review your Will whenever there is a significant change in your circumstances, such as marriage, separation, divorce, the birth of children or grandchildren, the purchase of substantial assets, or the death of a beneficiary or executor.
