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 wish all the forms had been in a downloadable package so that it wasn't so difficult to make sure I had them all. Too many pages open on the click throughs. I haven't had a chance to fill them out but hope they are all there.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with the website's deed/title searching feature. It can be frustrating when a feature you were hoping to use isn't available.
We do hope that you found what you were looking for elsewhere.

I used deeds.com to record a deed because the recording office closed due to Covid 19. It was easy to sign up and upload the documents I needed recorded and within 24 hours possibly even less, the deeds were recorded. I am very happy with the service and the $15 fee was affordable and worth every penny to get it done so quickly.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
