Which deed conveys severed interest of coowned property resulting from a court ordered partition?

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

Answer: (D)

When co-owned property is divided by a court, the instrument used to transfer each owner’s individual interest and finalize the severance is a partition deed. This deed records how the undivided interests are separated—either by creating distinct parcels or by allocating specific shares to each owner—and it makes the new, individual ownership interests legally effective. It specifically addresses the outcome of a court-ordered partition, ending the joint or common ownership and establishing separate title for each party.

In contrast, a trustees deed transfers property held by a trust, an executors deed transfers property from a deceased person’s estate, and a guardians deed transfers property managed by a guardian for a ward. Those deeds come from different contexts (trusts, estates, guardianships) and do not reflect the division of jointly owned property ordered by a court.
