Morphology
conveyance + of + title
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'conveyance' denotes a transfer or document effecting transfer and 'title' denotes legal ownership, with 'of' marking the object being transferred. Although legal register is specialized, a B1 learner who knows these constituent meanings can directly infer that it refers to transferring legal ownership.
Etymology
Conveyance of title comes from the idea that convey means 'to carry' and title is the paper that shows who owns a property, so imagine someone handing the ownership papers across to another person. That's why it means 'the act of legally transferring ownership'.
