n. [Latin] 1. A fact, such as a person's physical presence in a new domicile. 2. An act or deed, such as the due execution of a will.

The sealing and delivering of the parchment is the contractual act. Further, what is done by 'deed' can only be undone by 'deed."' 2 Frederick Pollock & Frederic W. Maitland, The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward 1 220 (2d ed. 1899).
