Administrator's Deed
An Administrator’s deed must be used to transfer the property of a person who has died intestate, leaving no Will. The Surrogate’s Court located in the County of the deceased’s residence, pursuant to statutory authority, appoints a fiduciary, known as the Administrator of the estate.  The Administrator is authorized by Court issued Letters of Administration to manage the estate’s assets.
This deed must reflect the full consideration paid for this sale.  As in the Bargain and Sale Deed  with Covenant, the deed contains a covenant  that the party of the first part (the Court appointed Administrator) has not done or suffered anything whereby the premises have become encumbered.
The deed contains the metes and bounds description found in the prior deed of record or in Schedule A of the Title Report.
Bargain and Sale With Covenants
The Bargain and Sale Deed with Covenant  may be  used to transfer property pursuant to an arm’s length Contract of Sale.
The “Covenant” printed in the boiler-plate of this Deed assures that “…the party of the first part, (the Seller) covenants that the party of the first part has not done or suffered anything whereby the premises have been encumbered in any way whatever…”.
Since buyers purchase title insurance to assure against encumbrances, liens, judgments, etc., this form of deed,  in effect, enables  buyer’s chosen title insurance  company  to subrogate against Seller  in the event that there is a claim made against the title company for failure to locate and report an existing encumbrance.
I do not recommend that Seller’s attorney agree in the Sales contract to the transferring  of a Bargain and  Sale  Deed with Covenant (unless failure to provide this form of Deed would be a deal breaker) because Seller is  vulnerable in case of a title company ‘s failure to identify an existing encumbrance.
Attached to the deed will be a metes and bounds description taken exactly from the prior deed of record or the Title Company’s Schedule A metes and bounds description.
Bargain and Sale Without Covenants
This Bargain and Sale Deed contains the same text as found in the Bargain and Sale Deed with covenants omitting from the text only  “…the party of the first part, covenants that the party of the first part has not done or suffered anything whereby the said premises have been encumbered in any way whatsoever…”. 
When this Bargain and Sale Deed form is used and the title company, in its search, misses a judgment creditor or other lien or encumbrance against the property, the liability is solely that of the title insurance company with no right of subrogation against Seller, even if Seller was aware of such objection to clear title.
The deed contains the metes and bounds description of the property being conveyed taken from the prior Deed of record or the Schedule A metes and bounds  description found in the Title Report.
Executor's Deed
An Executor’s deed must be used to transfer the property of a person has died  leaving a Will which has been offered for Probate in the Surrogate’s Court located in the County of the deceased’s residence. The Testator  appoints a fiduciary, known as the Executor or of the estate.  The Executor is authorized by Court issued Letters Testamentary,  to manage the estate’s assets.
This deed must reflect the full consideration paid for this sale.  As in a Bargain and Sale Deed with Covenant, the deed contains a covenant  that the party of the first part (the Executor appointed pursuant to probated Will) has not done or suffered anything whereby the premises have become encumbered.
The deed contains the metes and bounds description of the property  to be conveyed described  in the prior deed of record  or in Schedule A of the Title Report.
Quitclaim Deed
This deed  conveys  only the interest which the grantor may have. It contains no warranties or representations that grantor has any interest, but if the grantor does, the Quitclaim Deed conveys that interest.
It is imperative that grantee order a title search and insurance  assuring that grantor is in title, that title is not defective and can be conveyer.  The search will disclose encumbrances, liens, judgments, etc. which if not cleared up may diminish the value of any interest conveyed.
Attached to the deed will be a metes and bounds description taken exactly from the prior deed of record or the Title Company’s Schedule A metes and bounds description.
Warranty Deed
Neither the Warranty Deed  nor the Full Covenant and Warranty Deed are used with any frequency in New York. 
This Deed  warranties that the premises have not been encumbered in any way.  It warranties the title and the right of grantor to convey.  It assures grantee’s the right to quiet enjoyment of the property. This form of Deed may visciate the need for title insurance.
Attached to the deed will be a metes and bounds description taken exactly from the prior deed of record.
