For those like me who are legally challenged, I prefer to rely on how terms are defined in a legal dictionary when attempting to understand how such terms are used for legal purposes. For example, Black's Law Dictionary takes a half page to define the term "conveyance." Among the definitions included in the dictionary are the following: "The voluntary transfer of a right or of property." Further along, a "primary conveyance" is defined to include a lease: A primary conveyance is "a conveyance that creates an estate. Examples of primary conveyances include feoffment, gift, grant, lease, exchange, and partition." From the 7th edition of Black's Law Dictionary.
