What is the difference between a will and a living will?
A will is a document that transfers a person's property to others upon his/her death. This is called a testamentary document. It has no effect to transfer property until the testator dies. A living trust is a document that creates a fund of property, which is administered by the trustee for the benefit of other persons but with certain restrictions or directions on how the fund is to be used. This is called an inter vivos document because it is effective to transfer property during the person's lifetime.

What is the name of the person who effects the transfer of real property when a person dies?
When a person dies the court must appoint a person with authority to settle the estate. The real property can then be transferred by the executor of the Will or the court appointed administrator of the estate if the decedent died intestate (without a Will). Generally, the executor may have granted the authority to sell the property in the Will. Otherwise the executor must obtain a license to sell from the court. If the decedent had no Will then the court must appoint an administrator who must obtain a license to sell the real estate from the court. In some jurisdictions the person appointed by the court is called a personal representative or estate representative.
