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.

Please find below sample form for DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE.
