Questions answered? Let's get started!

An executor's deed is the instrument a North Carolina executor uses to move real property out of a testate estate and into a buyer's hands. It is a fiduciary deed: the person who signs it does so as executor of the estate, not as an individual owner, and the deed conveys only the interest the estate may lawfully convey. That fiduciary character shapes everything about the document, from the authority it recites to the warranties it withholds.

Authority is the heart of the deed

Unlike a deed from a living owner, an executor's deed has to show where the power to sell came from. North Carolina recognizes two sources. The first is a power of sale written into the will. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 28A-15-1(c), a sale made pursuant to authority given by the will does not require a special proceeding. The second source is an order of the Clerk of Superior Court. When a will supplies no power of sale and the estate needs to sell land to pay debts and claims, Article 17 of Chapter 28A lays out a special proceeding, with the heirs and devisees as necessary parties and the sale conducted under the judicial sale rules of Chapter 1, Article 29A. The deed names whichever source applies.

A fiduciary signs without a general warranty

A personal representative who hands a buyer a general warranty deed risks personal liability for the state of the title. The customary fiduciary deed avoids that result by making no general warranty: the executor conveys what the estate can convey and promises only that the executor has not encumbered the property. N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 28A-17-9 reflects the same principle from a related angle, providing that warranties a personal representative gives to complete a decedent's contract bind the estate and not the representative personally. This form carries that posture in its conveyance language and in a capitalized warning that the grantee takes subject to all matters affecting title.

Capacity in the granting clause

North Carolina makes the granting clause the place to fix the executor's capacity. N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 47-108.17 provides that when the granting clause sets forth the grantor's official capacity, the conveyance is not undone by a failure to repeat that capacity after the signature or in the acknowledgment, as long as the instrument is otherwise properly executed. The deed states the executor capacity in the conveyance section and again at the signature, and the acknowledgment by-line records the executor's name and representative capacity.

Recording in the county registry

The completed deed is recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the property sits, the office whose order of registration under N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 47-18 fixes priority against later purchasers and lien creditors. A sale of estate land for value is a conveyance for consideration, so the documentary excise tax under Sections 105-228.30 and 105-228.32 is calculated on the price and collected before recording. The deed also names its drafter on the first page and states each party's mailing address.

This package includes the fillable deed, a completed example built on a realistic Wake County fact pattern, and a section by section guide to the statutes behind each blank. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

LOVE THIS!! I am a REALTORand from time to time I have had to take documents for filing. I'm so glad I invested some time online researching eFiling services. The first few search results that populated required an expensive annual or monthly subscription. Luckily I continued to scroll and found Deeds.com. No annual or monthly subscription required. Just pay per use. I uploaded a ROL late one night and Deed.com had it eFiled the very next morning!!! They keep you updated throughout the process via email notifications which you click on the link provided in the email that directs you to your online portal to view the status and once your documents have been filed you can immediately download the filed of record documents including the receipt from the county in which the documents were filed. SO SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, & QUICK-THANK YOU DEEDS.com!!!

I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.

Reply from Staff

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.

Pros, quick purchase and document availability including instructions and examples. Cons, For the cert. of trust, the form would not accept the length of our trust name with no way to get around. The pdf file printing did not meet the requirements for 2.5" top margin and .5" other margins as well as the 10pt font size as the form information was shrunk down even when normal printing.
