Kent, In response to your question concerning a deed poll of trust... a poll deed is a deed made by one person or party only, to which he alone is bound, and executed only by himself. Polled deed is an archaic term having to do with the practice of cutting the top or side edge of the deed in a straight line (polled) as opposed to an indenture (deed indented) which cut the parchment or paper in a notched or saw-tooth edge. This was done as a practical matter of distinction. The deed poll of trust that you refer to would record the transfer of title to real property via trustee. There were sometimes other meanings attached to the term deed poll, as found in colonial Pennsylvania. Hope this helps.................Roger ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
