The Western Law Societies’ Conveyancing Protocol is a protocol jointly developed by the law societies of Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan to set out enhanced standards of conveyancing practice across the Western provinces. The goal is to provide excellent service to clients in residential sale, purchase and mortgage transactions. It was created in 2001, updated in 2009 and is tailored for use here in Manitoba.
