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.

I was very happy with the document package that I purchased. It contained all of the necessary documents and a few extras I had not thought about. Perhaps if you provided a link to download all of the documents with one click, it would make it a little easier.
