Questions answered? Let's get started!
A personal representative's deed pursuant to a decree of distribution is a probate deed and one of several fiduciary instruments that may be used in estate administration. The personal representative's (PR) deed is named after the capacity of the granting party.
Following an Order Allowing Final Account; Determining Heirship; and Final Decree of Distribution from the district court, use a personal representative's deed of distribution to transfer an interest in real property to a distributee of an estate with no consideration. The deed conveys all the right, title, interest, and estate of the decedent at the time of his death.
When signed by the PR, acknowledged in compliance with 16 O.S. 33, and recorded in the appropriate county register of deeds' office, the deed titles the subject property in the grantee's name and ensures an accurate chain of title following the owner's death. The grantee of a deed of distribution may be a devisee named in a decedent's will to inherit real property, or an heir at law, as determined by the Oklahoma statute of descent and distribution (84 O.S. 213).
In addition to meeting all state and local standards for recorded documents, components of a properly executed personal representative's deed pursuant to decree of distribution include the recital of probate details, including the name of the court-appointed personal representative, the decedent's name, the date of the decree, the case number assigned to the probate estate, and a reference to the source of the PR's authorization to convey the subject property.
Other requirements for a lawful deed include the full legal description of the property and statement of consideration, reflecting the value exchanged for the transfer of title. In Oklahoma, deeds commonly recite a generic consideration of "Ten and No/100ths Dollars," with the true purchase price reflected on an Affidavit of Purchase Price. This affidavit is a tool for the register's office to calculate the documentary stamp tax, a tax levied on all transfers of real estate in Oklahoma. Deeds of distribution are exempt from the documentary stamp tax pursuant to Oklahoma Administrative Code 710:30(2), however, so the deed requires a statement of exemption.
Record the completed, signed, and notarized deed, along with a certified copy of the order for distribution, signed by a judge, in the office of the register of deeds in the county wherein the property is situated.
The information provided here is not a substitute for legal advice. Consult an attorney licensed in the State of Oklahoma with questions regarding personal representative's deeds, as each situation is unique.

Customer service was poor. I felt like I had to debate the representative to provide guidance and assistance. They acted as though I knew the process, the documents involved, etc. At the same time, they asked me to confirm which documents or at least pages needed to be filed. I was leaning of Deeds.com for their expertise.
Thank you!

My county accessors office recommended this site. My Uncle passed away and did not leave a will and I needed to have his deed transferred into my name. I was able to do it using the sample Deeds.com provided. I used it as a guide to fill out the paperwork that I printed off of the Deeds.com site. I had no problem when I went to the county and turned in the paperwork and the clerk said everything looked great.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience Lori. We are deeply sorry for your loss and understand how challenging managing affairs can be during such a difficult time. It's heartening to hear that our resources were helpful to you in transferring your uncle's deed into your name.
We strive to make complex processes more accessible and manageable, and your feedback affirms the value of our work. Knowing that the county assessor's office recommended us and that the clerk found everything in order with your paperwork is incredibly gratifying.
