Which deed is used to transfer the legal title to Bam under a Will to Bam?

• A. Deed Poll
• B. Assent
• C. Conveyance
• D. Transfer

Answer: (B)

When property is left under a Will, the executor holds the legal title and must transfer that title to the beneficiary using a deed called an assent. The assent is the formal instrument by which the personal representative vests the legal ownership in Bam in accordance with the will, aligning the legal title with Bam’s entitlement. A Deed Poll is used for single-party actions like changing a name, not for transferring property to a beneficiary. A Conveyance is the usual deed used to transfer title between living owners in ordinary transactions, but the probate context uses an assent to reflect the transfer of legal title under a Will. A Transfer is not the formal instrument used to vest title in a beneficiary under a Will.
