The following information is general information only. The laws in your state may vary. Generally, there needs to be special authority in the will in order for the executor to have the power to transfer real estate. IF the will was allowed and you were appointed the executor and IF you were given power to sell real estate in the will and IF the property was devised to you in the will then you can execute a deed from you as executor to yourself as an individual. If you are the duly appointed executor and were not given power to sell real estate in the will and the property was not devised to you personally in the will then you need to apply for a license to sell real estate from the probate court in order to transfer it to yourself. If you were not given the power to sell property in the will and the property was devised to you then you don't need to execute a deed. The title is in your name as long as the estate was probated. Probate records are public records and title to real property can be transferred in probate. The probate process transfers title to real estate to the heirs. You should seek the advice of the attorney who is handling the estate.
