What type of deed would primarily address the distribution of an estate after death?

The choice of a Probate Deed is appropriate for addressing the distribution of an estate after death because this type of deed is specifically utilized in the context of transferring property ownership following the legal proceedings that occur after someone passes away. When someone dies, their assets, including any real estate, typically go through the probate process, where the deceased's will is validated and the estate is administered.

A Probate Deed facilitates the formal transfer of property title from the deceased’s estate to the beneficiaries or heirs as designated in the will or in accordance with state laws if there is no will. This process is essential for ensuring that the assets are distributed according to the deceased's wishes or legal requirements.

In contrast, a Survivorship Deed is used primarily to hold property jointly between two or more people with rights of survivorship, which helps avoid probate but does not specifically address the distribution of an estate after death. A Life Estate Deed allows a person to retain usage rights of a property during their lifetime, but does not directly pertain to estate distribution upon their death. An Easement Deed pertains to granting a right to use a portion of someone else's property for a specified purpose and is unrelated to estate distribution.
