A deed is a special form of written contract used to convey a permanent interest in real property. Unlike most contracts, a deed requires:

Only the grantor to be legally competent and of legal majority age

Explanation:

In other to lawfully affirm the transfer of property, there should be a legally binding document which must be signed and attested to. This document may be referred to as a deed which is usually a written document used during the process of agreement as a legal tool or representation for the confirmation, establishment and permanent transfer of property right or ownership from one person to another also called the change of title. In the case of a deed, only the grantor of the deed must be legally competent, that is a person who is mentally stable and possess sufficient knowledge to understand the law and its proceedings, hence being to make rational decisions on his own. The grantee does not have to be legally competent or of legal majority age.
