North Dakota Fiduciary Deed for use by Executors, Trustees, Trustors, Administrators and other Fiduciaries
What this document covers
The Fiduciary Deed is a legal document used by executors, trustees, trustors, administrators, and other fiduciaries to transfer real property on behalf of another. This form allows the grantor to convey property according to the terms of a will or trust, ensuring that the wishes of the deceased or the terms of the trust are followed. Unlike standard warranty deeds, which a property owner might use, this deed is specifically tailored for fiduciaries managing estate property or assets.
