Questions answered? Let's get started!
A deed of distribution is a fiduciary instrument executed by a personal representative (PR), who is appointed by the Probate and Family Court to administer a decedent's estate. Use a deed of distribution under G. L. c. 190B, 3-907 to distribute a decedent's real property to devisees under the decedent's will or to heirs when the decedent has died intestate.
A deed of distribution provides evidence of the distributee's title. It must meet the same standards for form and content as a standard deeds, but also requires information about the decedent. Depending on the situation, the PR might need to include additional supporting documentation.
Recorded in the Registry of Deeds in the county where the subject property is located, the deed brings the chain of title up to date after the decedent passes.
Consult a lawyer with questions about probate proceedings and deeds of distribution in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Ultimately, it directed me to the wrong form. Not very helpful. I had to turn to a title company to get my issue addressed.
Our website makes documents available to you. It does not direct you as to which one to use. We are glad that you sought the assistance it sounds like you needed. Have a wonderful day

Outstanding forms and service. Liked that the main deed forms were PDF so I could fill them out on my laptop, in my own time, instead of some online Q/A auto populate system. Guide was helpful, as was the completed sample. Used the erecording service to file the deed, amazing.
Thank you for your wonderful review Nancy! Our team takes pride in providing helpful resources, and we are pleased that the guide and completed sample were beneficial to you throughout the process. Making the deed filing journey smoother for our users is always our top priority.

mostly good; however, you need to update the annual exclusion gift amount from $14,000 to $15,000 (where it has ben for several years), and you need to make your Gift Deed final paragraph be gender neutral like "they" or "he or she" rather than just"he". We women lawyers and our women clients appreciate that.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I liked getting the forms but I was charged twice for some reason. I'm not sure what happened with that. Can you reimburse me? Thank you. Lanette
Thank you for your feedback Lanette. In review, it looks like your first payment was declined, second one was approved and processed. What you are seeing is one payment and a hold placed by your financial institution for the declined attempt. We are not sure why they do this but the hold usually falls off after a few day depending on their policy. If you have further questions about this you can contact your financial institution and they will explain. Have a great day.
