Quote of the Month
“Vendors and purchasers of properties place their total trust on the expertise, advice and acts of their conveyancing lawyers to help them complete the tasks of property conveyancing transactions that they are involved in. In this regard, the significance of a conveyancing lawyer’s role and responsibilities cannot be overstated. The duties and functions undertaken and discharged by those responsible in such property conveying transactions are indeed onerous.” - Choong Yeow Choy JC |
