  -> um the context isn't really too clear about that- LE passage des actes would make that more likely. I don't like second-guessing legal especially when no context at all has been provided. I stick to WYSIWYG

signing, sealing and delivering / executing of the deeds


Explanation:
A standard term meaning signing the deeds.

If you want to be formalistic you could talk about the deeds being signed, sealed and delivered.

Otherwise it's when they were "executed", or "formally signed", or quite simply "signed".

  -> true - but in the absence of context I had to keep the options in the same tense...
