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 2, English, - contract%20by%20specialty

Lorsqu'il s'emploie seul, l'équivalent [acte formaliste] ne s'abrège pas, l'adjectif «formaliste» étant essentiel à la compréhension de la notion. L'équivalent «acte scellé» a été écarté du fait de certaines réformes législatives récentes dans les pays de common law, qui ont supprimé la formalité du sceau pour les «deeds». En outre, l'apposition du sceau ne représente que l'une des formalités qui entourent la passation d'un «deed», la délivrance en étant une autre. Il convient de noter, par ailleurs, que le terme «deed» s'emploie aux États-Unis au sens de tout acte translatif visant un bien réel, formaliste ou non.  1, record 4, French, - acte%20formaliste

A symbol of authenticity. An impression made by means of an instrument or device, such as an engraved metallic plate, on wax or wafer affixed to an instrument, or directly upon the instrument itself.

An essential of a deed at common law and under some statutes, but disappearing from the requirement of the law with the expansion of literacy and the corresponding ability of a grantor to affix his own signature with legibility sufficient to authenticate the instrument as one representing his own act and deed.(Ballentine, 3rd ed., 1969, p. 1147)  1, record 6, English, - seal

The memorial is an abstract of the material parts of the deed, with the parcels at full length, and concludes with a statement that the party desires the deed to be registered.

To this point, the words ’enrollment’, ’registration’, and ’recording’ have been used interchangeably. The "Statute of Enrollments" required enrollment, and the "Middlesex Act" required registration. Both of these procedures are the same and are satisfied by a memorandum or memorial included in the public records stating the names of the grantor and of the grantee of the instrument, and the interest purportedly transferred. Recording requires that a complete copy of the instrument be included in the public records. (Mapp, 1978, p. 48).  1, record 7, English, - memorial

The doctrine of "escrow" is a relic of medieval times. It dates from the time when conveyances were made by feoffment and livery of seisin. It has survived to the present day and often operates in regard to conveyances of land or the creation or disposition of estates and interests in land such as a term of years.... It does predicate a document which is executed and delivered. The accustomed formula is "signed, sealed and delivered". When that formula is used in the document and it is signed by the party(or in the case of a company its seal is affixed) and attested by a witness with intent by the maker that it should be binding on him, it is conclusively presumed to be "signed, sealed and delivered". If it is handed over to another unconditionally, it is delivered as a deed. If it is handed over to another conditionally, it is delivered as an escrow. It only becomes a deed when the conditions are fulfilled....(Words and Phrases/England, v. 2, p. 173)  1, record 8, English, - doctrine%20of%20escrow
