Which deed conveys property of a testate deceased?

• A. Trustees deed
• B. Executors deed
• C. Guardians deed
• D. Partition deed

Answer: (B)

When someone dies with a will, the person named to wind up the estate is the executor. An executor’s deed is the instrument used to transfer real property from the deceased person’s estate to the beneficiaries or heirs named in the will, typically after debts, taxes, and administration costs are settled. This is the mechanism that actually conveys title from the decedent to the new owner according to the will.

A trustee’s deed, by contrast, transfers property held in a trust, not property owned by the decedent outright. A guardians deed relates to property managed for a minor or protected person under guardianship, not the transfer of a deceased person’s estate. A partition deed is used to divide property among co-owners or heirs when ownership is in common, rather than conveying the property under the directives of a will.
