Idaho Personal Representative Deed Overview

Select County Where the Property is Located

A personal representative (PR), appointed or authorized by the relevant probate court, uses a personal representative's deed to convey title to someone who is not the decedent's heir. The PR may need to sell the decedent's real property to pay the estate's debts or to liquidate the estate for ease of distribution to beneficiaries.

The Personal Representative's Deed is named for the acting fiduciary, but is functionally equivalent to a limited warranty deed. A limited warranty deed in Idaho contains covenants that the grantor has not previously conveyed the same title, and that the estate is free from encumbrances made by or under the grantor ( 55-612).

In addition to meeting the standard state and local standards for deeds in Idaho, personal representative's deeds might need additional information about the decedent, the representative, the court case, etc. Record the executed deed, along with any supporting documentation and fees, with the office responsible for maintaining land records in the county where the property is situated.

Probate can be complicated, so consult an attorney with questions regarding estate administration and conveyances of real property in Idaho.
