New York Administrator's Deed
About this form
An Administrator's Deed is a legal document used to transfer property from an estate managed by an administrator to the beneficiaries or purchasers designated under intestate law. This form is specifically tailored for situations where a person has died without a will, and the appointed administrator, empowered by the court, conveys the property. Unlike other deeds, the Administrator's Deed provides only limited guarantees, primarily confirming that the transfer is authorized by the court and that no encumbrances were added by the administrator during their service.
