Term: dedi
Definition: Dedi is a legal term that means "I have given" in Latin. It is often used in conveyancing to imply a warranty of title, which means that the person giving the property guarantees that they have the right to do so. This is like a promise that the property is legally theirs to give. For example, if someone says "I have given and granted this property to you," they are making a legal promise that the property is theirs to give and that the new owner will not have any legal problems with the title.
