Week 6 Conveyancing
In week 6 I learned about conveyancing
which is The process of transferring
ownership of real estate from one person to
another is called conveyancing.
I also know that there are three kinds of
conveyancing attorneys
1- The transferring attorney is chosen by the
seller is in charge of transferring the property
from seller to buyer
2- The registration attorney The mortgage
bond over the property in favor of the bank
financing the purchase must be registered by
the registering or bond attorney. In most
cases, the bank funding the transaction
appoints the registering or bond attorney,
who acts as a representative of the bank and
the buyer.
3- The cancellation attorney acts as a
representative of the bank where the seller
previously held the mortgage bond and is in
charge of canceling the seller's current
mortgage bond. The bank where the
mortgage bond is cancelled appoints the
cancellation attorney.
I learned of the conveyancing process
include The buyer giving the conveyancer a
deposit of the purchase price to be held in
trust until the transfer occurs after signing or
accepting the offer to purchase, At the
buyer's request, the deposit may be placed
in an interest-bearing trust investment
account.
Partnership
In this lesson, I learned that partnerships is a
deal that involves two or twenty people.
Every partner involved in the partnership
must provide something. The main legal
objective of a partnership is to make it
profitable, in which the profits have to be
divided among the partners in line of the
partnership agreement. A partnership isn’t
recognised as a legal body, because of this
each partner has unlimited personal liability
for the partnership dept. I also know that
when you enter a partnership, you are
individually taxed on the profit made in the
partnership, because a partnership does not
have to pay taxes.
I also know that in a partnership agreement,
there should be two or more attorneys as the
goal is making a profit by providing
professional services. A partnership also
consists of four components: 1:each partner
involved must contribute money or assets,2:
the main goal should be to make a profit, 3:
all partners should benefit and 4: the
contract should be valid.
One of the few things that should be included
in the partnership contract is the investment
made by every partner. The capital account
records only the partners capital
contributions. Every partner should have
their own ledger accounts.
All transactions between a partner and the
partnership are recorded in the partners
current account which is a different account
within the partnership. The account is then
debited when it rises and then it is credited
when it falls.
I also learned that the are two financial
statements of a partnership which are the
statement of profit which is similar to a sole
proprietor where transactions between
partners should be recorded individually to
other income and expenses and The
Statement of Financial Position which shows
the individual financial statements of each
partner
