Which deed is used to convey property to guardians for minors or incompetents?

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

Answer: (C)

In property transfers, the deed used matches who will hold and manage the property. When property must be placed in the care of someone to manage for a minor or someone who cannot handle their own affairs, the appropriate instrument is a guardians deed. This deed directly transfers title to the guardian named in the guardianship, giving them the authority to hold and manage the property for the ward’s benefit under court-approved guardianship. It formalizes the guardian’s role and ensures they can act within the legal framework to protect the ward’s interests.

The other deeds don’t fit this purpose. A trustees deed transfers property to a trustee for a trust, not to a guardian for a ward. An executors deed handles transferring a deceased person’s property during probate to heirs or beneficiaries. A partition deed is used to divide property among co-owners.
