Contracts
Executed contract
A contract in which both parties have fully performed
A purchase contract becomes executed at closing, when the money and the deed have both changed hands. Until then it is executory, however many signatures are on it.
How the exam asks about it
Colloquially "executing a contract" means signing one, and the exam uses that ambiguity on purpose. Signing makes a contract executory, not executed.
