What it does
Transfers estate property under the executor's authority
An executor's deed transfers real estate out of a deceased owner's estate — to an heir, or to a buyer — signed by the executor named in the will, acting under Letters Testamentary issued by the probate court.
Because the executor 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 Testamentary and the property details before your deed is prepared.
Most common uses
- Distributing estate property to an heir named in the will
- 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 prepare this deed until probate has admitted the will and the court has issued your Letters Testamentary. If you're not there yet, book a free call and we'll point you toward next steps.

FAQ
Executor's deed questions
What is an executor's deed?
An executor's deed is used when the owner of a property has died leaving a will, and the person named in that will as executor needs to transfer the property — to an heir, or to a buyer — as part of settling the estate. The executor signs on behalf of the estate, under the authority granted by the probate court.
Do I need Letters Testamentary before I order?
Yes. Letters Testamentary — issued by the probate court once the will is admitted to probate and you're formally appointed executor — 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 your deed is prepared.
What's the difference between an executor's deed and an administrator's deed?
They serve the same purpose — transferring property out of an estate — but the difference is whether there was a will. An executor's deed is used when there's a valid will and the executor is named in it, acting under Letters Testamentary. 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 instead.
What does an executor's deed warrant about the title?
An executor's deed conveys whatever interest the estate holds in the property — it doesn't add a personal warranty of title from the executor, since the executor is 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 executor signs, identifying themselves as executor 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 Testamentary and property details, we prepare your executor'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 executor'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 prepared.
