definition of deeds
A deed is a legal, written document used to transfer or signify ownership of real property, or certain types of personal property. A deed is commonly required for the transfer of land, as such a transfer can only be made in a specific manner prescribed by law. The deed is signed by the person transferring the land (the âgrantorâ), conveying the title and ownership of the land to another individual or entity (the âgranteeâ).
