Escrow & Title
When a NH property is sold via an estate (probate sale), the deed used is typically:

DA special warranty deed with full title insurance
Explanation
In a probate sale, the personal representative (executor or administrator) conveys the property using a fiduciary deed. This deed conveys the estate's interest but typically does not contain the full warranties of a general warranty deed—it conveys only what the estate possesses.
