What is Conveyance?
Conveyance is the legal process of transferring property from one owner to another. There are 7-8 important steps to follow in Bhutan while applying for an ownership change certificate or Lag Thram. The NLC (National Land Commission) issues the Lag Thram within 45 days turnaround time. Mistakes can be costly giving rise to disputes and losing valuable time and money. Hence, it is advisable to avail services of National Land Commission-certified conveyance and surveyors.
This blog provides an update on the list of most active Certified Land Conveyancers (CLC) and Certified Cadastral Surveyors (CCS) in Bhutan. The complete original list can be found on the NLC website.
2. Why privatization of the conveyance services by NLC?
As per the National Land Commission website, in 2018, 42 unemployed graduates were trained to facilitate and assist citizens in completing online land transactions using the ‘eSakor’ Portal. This will not only serve to bridge any potential gaps in the system’s utilization, bolster public service delivery, and ensure that the system is always operational, but it will also create meaningful employment and entrepreneurial prospects. These trained general graduates were recognized as “Certified Land Conveyancers. (CLC)
3. What is the function of CLC?
