What type of deed is provided by court order to sell property and satisfy a judgment?

A Referee's deed is specifically designed to convey title to property during a court-ordered sale to satisfy a judgment. In situations where a court has mandated the sale of a property, typically as part of a foreclosure or settlement of a lien, the Referee (a court-appointed official) executes this deed to formally transfer ownership from the debtor to the buyer.

This type of deed ensures that the sale is conducted in compliance with the legal processes and that the title is clear, adhering to the requirements set forth by the court. It is distinct from other types of deeds, as it directly results from judicial action, whereas other deeds, such as a probate deed or quitclaim deed, serve different purposes and involve different circumstances surrounding property transfer. The Referee's deed illustrates the intersection of real estate law and judicial authority, fulfilling the need to enforce judgments through property disposition.
