This form is for use by authorized personal representatives to convey real property.

The statutory form for a conveyance of real property in Delaware is a special warranty deed. In a personal representative's deed, the administrator or executor is the grantor, conveying all the title that the decedent had at the time of death to the grantee. The terms "grant and convey" warrant the title against the grantor and all persons claiming under the grantor (25 Del. Co. 121). In addition to requirements of a statutory deed, the personal representative's deed includes information about the decedent, including name, date of death, and information regarding the open estate.

The personal representative signs the deed in the presence of a notarial official and records the deed and all necessary supporting documents in the Recorder of Deeds office where the property subject to transfer is located.

Consult a lawyer with questions regarding personal representative's deeds or other issues with probate in Delaware.

I used the quitclaim deed form, it was easy to fill out, had notarized and was accepted by the county's recorders office. Having a example form made it so much easier to fill out.

I can't believe I haven't been using this service since inception. The only thing I would recommend is to allow us to delete an erroneous upload. I accidentally uploaded the same document twice but I saw no way for me to correct my mistake other than to send an email.

This is an option for recording that worked flawlessly with my county government. Given Covid19 has closed county offices to the public as well as the personal kiosks options to record shrunk dramatically. I recommend Deeds.Com for your recording needs.

I found the path from the home page to actually ordering the document I wanted extremely convoluted and non-intuitive. I went around in circles several times before I figured out how to actually buy the document.
