Amended jurat in conveyancing precedent declarations
The Conveyancing Committee would like to advise practitioners that it recently amended its precedent declarations in the members’ area on the Law Society website to reflect the fact that statutory declarations may be made before peace commissioners (as well as before commissioners for oaths and practising solicitors).
To clarify, peace commissioners could always take declarations, but this option had not previously been included in the committee’s pre-printed precedent forms. Solicitors may wish to download the amended precedents to their computers to replace the old versions.
