Executed vs Executory Contract
An executed contract is fully performed by both parties; an executory contract still has obligations left to complete.
An executed contract is one in which both parties have fully performed all of their obligations, such as a sale that has closed. An executory contract is one in which something remains to be done.
A signed purchase contract before closing is executory, because the parties still have to close. After closing, the contract is executed.
