TRANSACTION

The Transaction is the transfer of rights in land. Transactions are often documented in instruments, but it is not a requirement in the most part of the United States that transactions be written. Both parties in the transfer of rights must be legal parties who are capable of both delivering and receiving the rights being passed.
