Go Over Date Deed For Free

In order to execute a document as a deed, the signature of the person making the deed must be included within the 'execution' section provided at the end of the document. In addition, the signature of the person executing the deed must also be witnessed in order to take legal effect.

Deeds can also be advantageous even when they are not strictly required by law. For example, if only one party under a contract is receiving a real benefit from an agreement, it would be advisable under English law to execute the contract as a deed so that it is not void for lack of consideration.

Yes, the electronic execution of a document (including the insertion of a digital signature and digital signing of e-signing platforms) is valid under Singapore law for most contractual documents, as recognized by the Electronic Transactions Act (Cap. 88) (ETA).

Execution by an individual will generally require the date, and name and signature of the individual and a witness. The witness should be someone who is not already a party to the deed.

What Is Execution of a Deed? Execution is the process by which a party to a document shows it intends to formally accept and be bound by its terms. There are strict legal formalities for execution which differ depending on who or what is the party, e.g., an individual, a UK company, an overseas company etc..

In Singapore, these are governed by the common law, which requires deeds to be signed, sealed, and delivered to be effective. In practice, deeds are also almost always attested, although this is not a legal requirement.

Failing properly to execute a deed will still be fatal to a transaction (and prevent enforcement of a defaulting party's obligations) if the particular type of transaction requires the use of a deed by law (e.g. land transfers), with no contractual recourse to fall back on.
