What it does
Transfers estate property under the administrator's authority
An administrator's deed transfers real estate out of a deceased owner's estate — to an heir, or to a buyer — signed by the administrator the probate court appointed, acting under Letters of Administration.
Because the administrator is conveying the estate's interest rather than their own, this deed doesn't carry the kind of personal title warranty a seller-owner would give. We'll confirm your Letters of Administration and the property details before drafting begins.
Most common uses
- Distributing estate property to an heir under Georgia intestacy rules
- Selling estate property to a third-party buyer
- Settling an estate with a single piece of Georgia real estate
The honest note: we can't draft this until the court has issued your Letters of Administration. If you're not there yet, book a free call and we'll point you toward next steps.

FAQ
Administrator's deed questions
What is an administrator's deed?
An administrator's deed is used when a property owner dies without a valid will (or without one naming an executor), and the probate court appoints an administrator to settle the estate. The administrator transfers the property — to an heir, or to a buyer — under the authority the court granted them.
Do I need Letters of Administration before I order?
Yes. Letters of Administration — issued by the probate court once you're formally appointed administrator of the estate — are what give you the legal authority to sign on the estate's behalf. We'll ask for a copy when you order so our title examiner can confirm everything is in order before drafting begins.
What's the difference between an administrator's deed and an executor's deed?
They serve the same purpose — transferring property out of an estate — but the difference is whether there was a will. An administrator's deed is used when there's no will (or none naming an executor), and the court appoints an administrator under Letters of Administration. An executor's deed is used when there's a valid will naming an executor, acting under Letters Testamentary instead.
What does an administrator's deed warrant about the title?
An administrator's deed conveys whatever interest the estate holds in the property — it doesn't add a personal warranty of title from the administrator, since they're acting on the estate's behalf, not as the original owner. Buyers who want title assurance typically pair this with an owner's title insurance policy, arranged separately from a title company.
Who signs the deed?
The administrator signs, identifying themselves as administrator of the named estate — not personally. Georgia deed execution otherwise follows the usual requirements: the signature is notarized, with one witness.
How long does the full process take?
Once we have your Letters of Administration and property details, we draft your administrator's deed within 2 business days. After you sign and return it, your county records it in up to a week, depending on county workload.
Can you help if I'm not sure whether I need an administrator's deed or something else?
Yes — tell us the situation when you order (or book a free 10-minute call) and our title examiner will confirm the right deed before anything is drafted.
