Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this deed will probably not hold up due to there being no consideration or intent to deliver. In order for a deed to be accepted as valid it must follow certain rules, these being that it must be in writing, contain a legal description, have a granting clause, contain consideration, and finally be signed by the grantor.
