Questions answered? Let's get started!
An administrator's deed is a fiduciary instrument used in estate administration to transfer real property pursuant to laws of intestate succession. An administrator is a personal representative selected by the probate court to administer a decedent's intestate estate.
Use an administrator's deed to convey interest in real property to a grantee with a special warranty. This type of warranty affirms that, while the grantor/administrator controlled the property, she never acted in a way to change the status of the title.
In addition to meeting state and local standards for real estate deeds, administrator's deeds also include details about the decedent's probate case. A court order for sale is required before a transfer can be made. Supporting documentation, such as an affidavit of real property transfer under KRS 382.135(4), is required before an administrator can record the deed in the office of the county clerk.
Contact a lawyer with questions about Kentucky administrator's deeds or other inquiries related to probate.

Ordered the forms I needed for my state and county and everything worked out perfectly. All the forms came with examples (filled in) and very detailed instructions for each block that required an entry. I was able to fill everything out on my computer and save the files for future use, if required. Deeds provides an excellent product. I highly recommend their products and will use their services again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very easy to use and no hidden costs. You get to download whatever you need and can save it and even reuse it. So it's like having your own library of form that you pay for once. They even give you more related forms than you ask for and it turned out we needed some if those forms as well. The forms meet what our county requires for margins in records and so on. So I will use deeds.com again when I need a different kind of legal form.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Very easy. I copied each doc separately. Is there a way to copy the all docs at once into a folder? Thanks for being there. Rich
Thank you for the feedback Richard. Currently there is no way to download all of the documents at once but we'll definitely look into it. Have a great day!

It was very easy to set up the account but then everything is very costly. I didn't see any publications that were free to account holders, so as infrequently I have to do a title search, I may as well just hire an online service to do the legwork too.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
