{{g}}A [[deed]] | {{g}}A [[deed]] is a written legal agreement that has been signed and [[Deliver|delivered]] and which is enforceable even in the absence of [[consideration]]. There are formal requirements for it to be executed. Deeds between two or more parties are called [[indenture]]s. A unilateral deed is called a [[deed poll]]. Etymology corner: Originally, an [[indenture]] between more than one party had a physical “indentation” or “serration” along one edge of the document, whereas that pages of a deed signed by just one person were cut straight (or “polled”) — thus a “[[deed poll]]”. | ||
Deeds are required by statute for some types of contract, including: | |||
*'''Real estate''': conveyances of land<ref>Section 52, [[Law of Property Act 1925]].<ref> | |||
*'''Security''': [[mortgage]]s.<ref>Section 101(1) and 104(1), [[Law of Property Act 1925]].<ref> | |||
*'''[[Power of attorney|Powers of attorney]]'': powers of attorney; | |||
*'''Trusts''': The appointment or discharge of a [[trustee]]; | |||
*'''No [[consideration]]''': At [[common law]]<ref>''Halsbury’s Laws of England'' (2012) vol 32 ''Deeds and other Instruments'' para 213.</ref> any legally binding agreement for which one party does not provide [[consideration]]. | |||
