An Illinois Judges Deed is a legal document issued by an Illinois court that transfers the title of real property from one party to another. This document is typically used when a court has ordered the transfer of property to a party who has won a lawsuit against the prior owner. An Illinois Judges Deed effectively transfers all rights and interests of the prior owner to the new owner. There are two types of Illinois Judges Deeds: a Decree of Conveyance and a Decree of Sale. A Decree of Conveyance is a Judges Deed issued after a court ruling that the prior owner does not have a legal claim to the property, and the title is transferred to the new owner. A Decree of Sale is issued after a court has ordered the sale of the property to satisfy a debt or other obligation.
