A contract under seal, or specialty contract, is created by the execution of a deed binding the party or parties executing it to a future act or forebearance. Such a contract necessarily involves the element of agreement, but it derives its legal effect solely from the formality of sealing and delivery, and not from the mere fact of agreement...(Jowitt, p. 449)  3, record 1, English, - contract%20by%20specialty

If A, contemplating the purchase of land from S, grants a mortgage of that land to M before receiving delivery of the deed from S, and subsequently receives a deed, but gives back a mortgage to S as part of the purchase price, the feeding of the estoppel will give M only a title which is subject to S’ s vendor's lien and mortgage. In this example, S is a stranger to the mortgage deed from A to M, and is not affected by any estoppel which M could raise against A.

Delivery may be absolute or conditional and if the latter, it will be said to be delivery "in escrow" if the deed is to be held by someone not a party to it until some condition is performed by the party to be benefitted by the deed and upon fulfilment to take effect.(Lamont, "Real Estate Conveyancing", 1976, p. 85).  1, record 9, English, - delivery%20in%20escrow

Under the old law, a deed could not be delivered, as an escrow, direct to the grantee. Delivery in escrow was made to a third party-the first delivery-and, upon the fulfilment of the condition, the third party would deliver the deed to the grantee-the second delivery. It seems that the old law no longer applies. The more modern approach is to treat the question as one of fact; even where there is delivery to the grantee, the intention of the parties must be ascertained, from the transaction as a whole, as to whether the delivery was absolute or conditional.(Mendes da Costa and Balfour, p. 401)  1, record 9, English, - delivery%20in%20escrow
