Importance in drafting an agreement or a deed and the purpose

There is quite a difference between “agreement” and “deed. When there is a mutual discussion between parties and they formally want such discussion to made in writing to pursue it further for an action; of what actually discussed, then such formal arrangement is called “agreement”.

On the other hand, Deeds mostly an exchange of commercial value or consideration and it involves an asset or a property, including intangible assets like Trademark, Patent, and such requires a statutory registration or transfer temporary or permanent is termed as a Deed.

In an agreement, there can be more than 2 parties and each party to be titled, purpose, and the other terms and conditions discussed and mutually agreed by the parties are recorded, signed along with witnesses.

What is a deed?

A deed is a special type of commercial binding or a promise on consideration or commitment to do something.

It seems that the substantial requirement of a deed was that it be intended by the executing party to be the most serious indication to the society that she or he really means to do what he is doing.
