Voluntary transfer of Title or Possession from one party to another; legally recognized handing over to another of one's possessory rights. Actual delivery of a deed is usually required for a transfer of real estate ownership. Where actual delivery is cumbersome or impossible, the courts may find constructive delivery sufficient if the intention is clearly to transfer title. Thus, one may deliver the contents of a safety deposit box by handing over the key together with any necessary authorization. See also Good Delivery.

The transfer of possession of real property or personal property from one person to another.

Two elements of a valid gift are delivery and donative intent. Delivery is not restricted to the actual physical transfer of an item — in some cases delivery may be symbolic. Such is the case where one person gives land to another person. Land cannot be physically delivered, but delivery of the deed constitutes the transfer if coupled with the requisite intent to pass the land on to another.

Similarly, delivery can take place in a situation where goods are set apart and notice is given to whoever is scheduled to receive them. This is known as constructive delivery.
