How do I write a "Deed"?

Anyone can prepare a deed for himself, but indeed preparing one for another person is best avoided because of the mentioned Act.
In any case, considering OP's specific need, it seems the best route, is to consult a solicitor unless he knows where to find a reputable template (which seems unlikely).0 -
Fair enough. My post (# 8) should have read:Not so. Anyone can write a Deed for themselves.
Just as anyone can write a will for themselves
And anyone can do their own conveyancing.
But the fact that it is legal to do so, does not mean it is wise to do so.
I was, however, correcting your own post (# 4)
I am 99.9% sure that a deed must be drafted by a Solicitor, but this can include a master that is completed by others.0 -

"I am 99.9% sure that a deed must be drafted by a Solicitor, but this can include a master that is completed by others"
Well no, that is correct
The law is clear that it is a reserved instrument activity and that there exemptions as opposed to different classes of entitlement .
Perhaps we can agree on 99%Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0
