Document background
An Absolute Deed is a fundamental legal instrument in Singapore property transactions, used when there needs to be a complete and unconditional transfer of property ownership. This document is essential in situations where a clean break in ownership is required, such as in outright property sales or family transfers. The Absolute Deed must comply with Singapore's strict legal requirements, including proper execution before witnesses and registration with the Singapore Land Authority. It differs from other property instruments as it transfers complete ownership without any conditions or reservations, making it particularly important in straightforward property transactions where no encumbrances or conditions need to be maintained.
