When both parties have fulfilled their Contractual Obligations, that’s when it is said that the Contract is
“Perfected”. In the Contract to Sell, the perfection of the Contract shall climax in the execution of Deed of
Absolute Sale.
In this Document, the SELLER shall transfer the Title to the new owner, the BUYER.
I’d like to emphasize that the Certificate of Title is NOT THE TITLE in itself. The Certificate of title is
merely a certification or evidence of the TITLE. According to law, a TITLE are the legal right and
privileges.
As an analogy, if a medical doctor’s diploma was lost or destroyed, it doesn’t mean that the Physician’s
TITLE is also lost or destroyed. The diploma is just a certification of the doctor’s TITLE and NOT the title
itself. The TITLE of the doctor are his legal rights and privileges that come with his profession.
In the case of sale of Real Property the TITLE that is being transferred upon execution of Deed of
Absolute Sale are the legal rights and privileges to own the property. Again, we are not referring to the
Certificate of title here because obviously, the Certificate of Title would still be in the name of the
SELLER and shall be transferred to the name of the BUYER afterwards by virtue of Deed of Absolute
Sale.
This DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE is made, executed and entered into by:
Name of Seller, of legal age, Filipino, single/married to Name of the Spouse of Seller, with residence
address at Postal Address of the Seller in the Phiilppines, hereinafter referred to as the SELLER;
-AND-
Name of Buyer, of legal age, Filipino, single/married to, Name of Spouse of Buyer and with residence
and postal address at Address of the Buyer in the Phiippines, hereinafter referred to as the BUYER;
WITNESSETH;
WHEREAS, the SELLER is the registered owner of a parcel of land with improvements located
at ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY FOR SALE IN THE PHILIPPINES, and covered by Transfer
Certificate of Title No. 0000 containing a total area of LAND AREA IN SQUARE METERS (000)
SQUARE METERS, more or less, and more particularly described as follows:
WHEREAS, the BUYER has offered to buy and the SELLERS has agreed to sell the above mentioned
property for the amount of _____________________________________________________ (P
___________________) Philippine Currency;
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above-mentioned amount, hand paid by the vendees
to the vendors, the SELLER DO HEREBY SELL, TRANSFER, and CONVEY by way of Absolute Sale
unto the said BUYER, his/her heirs and assigns, the certain parcel of land together with all the
improvements found thereon, free from all liens and encumbrances of whatever nature including real estate
taxes as of the date of this sale.
