About This Automation

Document generation and lodgement in conveyancing involves manually gathering client and property data from multiple sources, populating legal documents, and checking for errors before sending to clients for signature and lodging with authorities.

Automation extracts data from case management systems and spreadsheets, populates documents automatically, flags missing information for review, and coordinates signatures and lodgement tracking. This reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and accelerates the path to settlement.

Key features:

Extract client and property data automatically from case management systems and spreadsheets

Populate legal documents with verified data and generate ready-to-sign PDFs

Flag missing or inconsistent data for human review before documents leave the office

Send documents to clients and counterparties for signature with automated tracking

Compile signed documents into lodgement packages and record submission details

Alert staff if signatures are not returned by expected dates

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Settlement Date Confirmedtrigger

A new settlement record is created or a settlement date is set. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Fetch Client and Property Data

The automation pulls all client names, addresses, property details, and financial figures and linked spreadsheets in a single query.

3. Populate Document Templates

The automation maps the fetched data to the correct fields in each required document template and generates completed PDFs without manual typing.

4. Validate Completeness

The automation checks that all required fields are populated and flags any missing data or inconsistencies for human review.

5. Route for Review and Signature

Completed documents are sent to the conveyancer for final review, then automatically routed for client signature.

6. Log Lodgement Details

Once signed, the automation logs the document status and lodgement date and prepares a summary for the lodgement team.
