A contract for deed is a legally binding agreement wherein the buyer is granted immediate possession of a parcel of land and pays the purchase price over a specified period of time, while the seller retains the legal title until all payments are made.

After the full purchase price is paid, the seller is obligated to sign a Deed of Assignment or Deed of Conveyance as well as a Power of Attorney in order to transfer the legal title of the land to the buyer. This arrangement often requires an initial down payment to be made by the buyer.
