The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for conveyancers chases certificates, searches and the settlement checklist.

The conveyancer still advises and signs the documents.

Two jobs shape a normal week for conveyancers: Order searches in the tool the firm uses, and chase certificates against the settlement date. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Order searches in the tool the firm uses

  • Chase certificates against the settlement date

  • Update the matter checklist daily

  • Book settlement times the conveyancer set

  • File signed documents to the matter

Order searches in the tool the firm uses. For conveyancers, that work sits beside LEAP or the firm matter system. The principal still makes the call above it.

Chase certificates against the settlement date. Ask each finalist for conveyancers when they last did this, and whether they did it in LEAP or the firm matter system.

The brief for conveyancers should treat this as a standing job: update the matter checklist daily. LEAP or the firm matter system is where the office checks it.

Book settlement times the conveyancer set. If the hire has not used LEAP or the firm matter system, the first month for conveyancers includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

File signed documents to the matter. For conveyancers, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.

Day one

Software in the brief

Name LEAP or the firm matter system in the brief for conveyancers when the hire will use it in the first week.

Say whether triSearch, InfoTrack or PEXA for the searches you named is required on day one for conveyancers, or taught after the start.

A short task in A settlement checklist with dates can be part of the interview for conveyancers, if you want to see the work.

You grant access to The firm precedent letters. For conveyancers, the hire should have that login before week two.

  • LEAP or the firm matter system

  • triSearch, InfoTrack or PEXA for the searches you named

  • A settlement checklist with dates

  • The firm precedent letters

The line

Compliance boundary

The hire does not give conveyancing advice or sign a transfer.

For conveyancers, the interview repeats the boundary above. The hire should be able to say what they will not decide.

The first 90 days

  1. 01

    Days 1 to 30 for conveyancers are for learning LEAP or the firm matter system and the way the office already hands work across.

  2. 02

    By day 60 this should be routine for conveyancers: Update the matter checklist daily.

  3. 03

    The day-90 review asks one question for conveyancers: is “File signed documents to the matter” happening without you chasing it?

What we ask before we search

  • On the call for conveyancers, we ask who does this today: order searches in the tool the firm uses.
  • We ask which of these the hire for conveyancers must open on day one: LEAP or the firm matter system, triSearch, InfoTrack or PEXA for the searches you named, A settlement checklist with dates.
  • For conveyancers, we ask you to say the line a new starter must not cross.

Shared hours are written into the brief for conveyancers before anyone is approached.
