Note
A verb made from the paperwork itself: the legal instrument called a deed lends its name to the act of handing over land or buildings with one, and it has nothing to do with deeds as feats. The -ing form serves as a participle (is deeding the ranch) and as a gerund naming the transfer itself. The verb is informal; in careful legal prose, transfer by deed is the safer phrasing.
