What does consideration mean on a deed?
The value that is exchanged as part of an agreement between two or more parties is referred to as the “consideration,” and the phrase “consideration” is a legal term. The portion of the bargain known as “what’s in it for me” is called consideration. It refers to the concessions that one side makes to the other as a condition of the deal. The cancellation of a debt, the performance of services, the payment of money, anything of worth could all qualify as consideration in this context. Transferring real estate can take place with or without the payment of any consideration. In the event that the real estate is being sold to a third party, the contract will stipulate that the buyer must provide the seller with a specified sum of money as consideration. The contract will also require the seller to sign and deliver a deed to the buyer as consideration for the sale of the property. This deed will often be a Warranty Deed or a Special Warranty/Grant/Covenant Deed. The mutual payment for the lease purchase agreement consists of the buyer’s obligation to pay the purchase price and the seller’s commitment to sign and deliver the deed to the buyer. The recitation of price in the deed does not necessarily have to correspond to the actual payment that was paid for the property.
What is good consideration in a deed?
Love and affection for the person to whom one owes a natural duty might serve as the foundation for a positive concern toward that person. A “valuable consideration” indicates that the grantor acquired something of value in exchange for the transfer of the property, such as money or the payment of a debt owed by the grantor to the grantee. The word “valuable consideration” is used in real estate transactions.
Why does a deed not require consideration?
In contrast to a contract or agreement, a deed can be legally binding even in the absence of any consideration being exchanged between the parties. The premise that a deed is the most serious evidence that the parties desire to be bound by the terms of the agreement means that consideration is not required for a deed.
