Personal representative's deeds are used to transfer real property from both testate (with a will) and intestate (without a will) estates. These documents provide essential information about the specific probate estate and related property transfer in one document.

When a person dies, the probate court authorizes someone to take responsibility for distributing the remaining assets according to the instructions set out in the decedent's will (if one exists), while also following state and local laws. This person is often known as an executor or an administrator of the estate. California, however, identifies the individual who accepts that fiduciary duty as a personal representative (PR).

One common task involves transferring title on the decedent's real estate. Deeds used for this purpose must meet the same state and local requirements as warranty or quitclaim deeds. They also include other details, such as facts about the deceased property owner, the probate case, and anything else deemed necessary by the situation. In addition, the PR must file a PCOR with the county assessor's office when recording the completed deed.

Note that these deeds may need to be recorded with the probate court as well as the county recording office. Consult with the legal professional involved in managing the specific probate case to ensure that all recording and notice requirements are met.

See California Probate Code, Division 7. Administration of Estates of Decedents for more information. Remember that each case is unique, so contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex circumstances.

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.

First time using Deeds.com and feel that your platform is clear and easy to use. I was also pleased with the messaging center and follow-up and also surprised at how quickly our particular deed was recorded and available to view. Having said that, when I first investigated Deeds.com the fee was $15 and as of 1/1/21 it has increased to $19 which I feel is pretty steep for the handling of 1 simple document especially when the turnaround was basically the same day. Your fee was nearly the equivalent of the cost of the Clerk's recording fee. Perhaps you should offer a fee schedule for those of us who are not volume recorders. Just a thought.

It would be helpful to have a frequently asked questions section. That would make it easier to know I have the correct form.

I had no clue how to write an easement termination, and I did not want to pay an attorney for it, so I ordered the instructions and form. It was very helpful to have a completed sample. I am satisfied and confident in the document I produced.

While most of the material is available elsewhere, this puts it all together and can save a lot of time. It included some additional information on California SB2 exemptions that was a big help.

This was fantastic. I downloaded the document, filled it out, printed it, had it notarized and drove to the recorders office and had it recorded within less than 15 minutes. Instructions are precise and easy to understand. You saved me hundreds of dollars a lawyer would have charged for the same work.
