Missouri Personal Representative's Deed for an Independent Personal Representative

The laws governing Missouri probate proceedings are codified at Chapters 472-475 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

An independent personal representative's deed is a fiduciary instrument used to transfer a decedent's interest in real property to a purchaser. A personal representative (PR), who may alternately be referred to as either an executor or an administrator, is the person appointed by the Probate Division of the Circuit Court to manage the decedent's estate.

Use the personal representative's deed in independent administration when the PR is authorized to sell real estate under a power conferred by the decedent's will ( 473.457, RSMo). The PR's deed must meet all state and local standards for content and format. It also makes reference to the deceased owner and the probate case, and might require supporting documents such as an official copy of the death certificate.

Consult an attorney licensed in the State of Missouri with questions about personal representative's deeds or any other issues related to probate.

(Missouri PRD Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
