 | | Deed poll \Deed" poll`\ (Law) A deed of one part, or executed by only one party, and distinguished from an indenture by having the edge of the parchment or paper cut even, or polled as it was anciently termed, instead of being indented. |
 | | A deed made by one party only is not indented, but polled or shaved quite even, and is, for this reason, called a deed poll, or single deed. |
 | | For example, a feoffment from A to B by deed poll, is not an agreement between A and B, but rather a declaration by A addressed to all mankind, informing them that he thereby gives and enfeoffs B of certain land therein described. |
