Who is the owner of the property in a personal representative's deed?

  1. A deceased person

  2. A divorcee

  3. A legally incompetent person

  4. A minor

The correct answer is: A deceased person

A personal representative's deed refers to a document that is used to transfer ownership of a property from someone who has died to their rightful heirs or beneficiaries. Out of the given choices, only a deceased person can be the owner of a property in this type of deed. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the situation described in the question and are therefore incorrect. A divorcee may have once been an owner of the property, but this is not the case in a personal representative's deed. A legally incompetent person is unable to legally own a property and a minor typically cannot own property without a designated guardian. Therefore, A is the only correct choice.
