The Personal Representative's Deed of Distribution provides essential information about the probate estate and the property transfer in one document.

When a person dies, someone must take responsibility for distributing the remaining assets according to the instructions set out in the decedent's will (if there is one), while also following state and local laws. This person is often known as an executor or an administrator of the estate. Arizona, however, identifies the individual who accepts that fiduciary duty as a personal representative.

One common task involves transferring title on the decedent's real estate. Deeds used for this purpose must meet the same state and local requirements as warranty or quitclaim deeds. In addition, they include other details, such as facts about the deceased property owner, the probate case, and anything else deemed necessary by the situation.

Note that these deeds may need to be recorded with the probate registrar/clerk of superior court as well as the county recording office. Consult with a legal professional who is involved in managing the specific probate case to ensure that all recording and notice requirements are met.

Personal representative's deeds of distribution are useful for both testate (with a will) and intestate (without a will) estates. Each case is unique, though, so contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex circumstances.

Since the recorder's office is closed, due to Covid, this worked well to submit my Quit Claim Deed. I was a bit confused with the direction and download. But, I think I got her done! We'll see if I get recorded and confirmation is received. I may be back

So far so good! I haven't had an opportunity to populate the forms but they seem to be very easy to do. The sample deed serves very well.
Ordering the forms were very easy, I was impressed with the ease of doing so.

Fairly easy to use. I had to really search to get some info. I had to use the Exhibit feature because the description box was way too small and I ended up re-typing it. The package had good and useful links. The County Clerk looked at it and said, "I see you used an online form, and that's OK, but..." and proceeded to show me a couple of things that were left out. They recorded it with no problems.

Customer service was poor. I felt like I had to debate the representative to provide guidance and assistance. They acted as though I knew the process, the documents involved, etc. At the same time, they asked me to confirm which documents or at least pages needed to be filed. I was leaning of Deeds.com for their expertise.

Thanks for the complete and reasonably priced set of docs. I was specifically looking for and glad to find a current version of a TOD deed following the California extension.
