The personal representative's (PR) deed of sale is a fiduciary instrument used in probate proceedings to convey real property from an estate to a purchaser. 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.

Formatted after Minnesota Uniform Conveyancing Blanks Form 10.5.3, use this deed to convey the decedent's real property from an individual PR to an individual purchaser when a necessary partition among multiple beneficiaries cannot be conveniently made, to facilitate payment of the estate's debts, or as directed by the decedent's will. The deed carries 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 personal representative's deeds of sale in Minnesota.
