Stewart Title Guaranty Company, a leader in the Canadian title insurance industry, has purchased Brief Convey, a leading conveyancing software developed by Brief Legal Software that enables lawyers and Notaries to process residential real estate transactions efficiently while providing competitive pricing to their clients.

"Purchasing Brief Convey was a natural fit for Stewart Title and Brief Legal Software," said Marco Polsinelli, the senior vice president and general manager of Stewart's Canadian division. "Brief Legal has established a reputation of providing software solutions that are focused on the needs of the legal and real estate communities. Stewart Title is a long time supporter of these communities and is pleased to integrate our title insurance with a software designed to make the conveyancing process more efficient for lawyers and notaries."

Stewart Title will be responsible for the marketing, development and expansion of Brief Convey with support from the Brief Legal principals who will assist in the transition of this product to Stewart Title.

"We are pleased to have sold Brief Convey to a company with a proven reputation for supporting the legal and real estate communities," said Ken Fiedler, the company's vice president of business development. "We are committed to working with Stewart Title's product development and business development teams to ensure Brief Convey remains a leading choice for lawyers and notaries."

As a powerful and flexible conveyancing application for British Colombia real estate professionals, Brief Convey meets document generation needs, is integrated with BC OnLine, and enables the user to maintain control of their data.

"Brief Convey has provided our staff with the best conveyance software that includes a one-step process to file electronic documents with the land title office, as the software logs you into BC OnLine with your documents attached," said Tony Spagnuolo, of Spagnuolo & Company Real Estate Lawyers. "It means we can streamline the entire process and serve our clients quicker. It is a significant competitive advantage."
