Definition of act and deed

Definition: Act and deed refers to a written document that records a transaction or agreement between two parties. It can also refer to a traditional spoken formula used when signing a legal document.

Example 1: A contract between a landlord and a tenant is an act and deed. It outlines the terms of the lease agreement and is signed by both parties.

Example 2: In the past, when people signed legal documents, they would say "I deliver this as my act and deed" to show that they were committed to the agreement.

These examples illustrate how act and deed is used to refer to a written document that records a transaction or agreement between two parties. It can also refer to a traditional spoken formula used when signing a legal document.

Simple Definition

Act and deed: A written document that shows an agreement or deal between people. It's like a special paper that proves something important happened. Long ago, when people signed these papers, they would say special words to show they really meant it. They would touch a special stamp and say, "I give this as my act and deed."
