Questions answered? Let's get started!

The personal representative's deed of distribution is a fiduciary instrument used in probate proceedings as evidence that a distributee has succeeded to the decedent's interest in real property ( 524.3-908). A personal representative, who may also be referred to as either an executor or administrator, is the fiduciary appointed to manage the decedent's estate.

After Minnesota Conveyancing Blanks Form 10.5.1, use this deed to make a distribution of real property from an individual personal representative (as opposed to a business entity personal representative) with no warranty.

See Minnesota Courts General Practice Rule 410 for requirements for transfers of real estate, and contact a lawyer with questions regarding estate administration and deeds of distribution in Minnesota.

I used the Affidavit of Death form provided by Deeds.com. The form and directions were easy to follow. I took the form to the county clerk's office for filing after getting it notarized. They accepted the form with no issues. A task that many people go to a lawyer complete was completed easily by me in less than an hour.

Reply from Staff

Thanks, Dale! Glad it worked exactly as it should — clear form, smooth filing, no issues at the clerk's office. That's the goal every time.

The paperwork was fine but it was just paperwork. Georgia does not accept a paper form. The form must be transmitted electronically through a registered account. Using an attorney may have been the simple way to file the cancellation.

Thank you for your feedback, Dan. We’re glad the paperwork itself met your expectations. Recording requirements can vary by state and county, including how documents are submitted. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will review our product information to see where we can better clarify the recording process for Georgia customers.

The website worked fine and I would have been happy to pay the extra money except the deed I needed was "not available". Ended up calling the courthouse anyway.
