"Execute" is an expandable term in law when referring to legal documents. It can mean that a contract has been fully performed by both parties. It is most commonly used to refer to the signing of legal documents. Historically it meant that a legal document had been signed, sealed and delivered. There was a time when a deed was not valid unless there was proof it was delivered to the grantee.

Today a properly executed document has been signed by the necessary parties, witnessed, if necessary, and the signatures have been acknowledged by a notary, if necessary. There are different requirements for different types of documents. The purpose of executing a document properly is to render it legally enforceable.
