508A.68 DEATH OF OWNER; ISSUANCE OF NEW CPTS.
When the owner of land registered under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, or of any estate or
interest in it, dies, having devised the same by will, the persons entitled to it may file with the
registrar a certified copy of the will and the personal representative's deed of distribution together
with any order of distribution, if there is one, or certified copy of any final decree, if there is one,
assigning it. The registrar shall then cancel the CPT issued to the testator and issue a new CPT to
the persons designated. When the owner of land registered under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, or
of any estate or interest therein, dies, not having devised it, the persons entitled to it by law may
file with the registrar the personal representative's deed of distribution together with a certified
copy of any order of distribution, if there be one, or a certified copy of any final decree of the court
assigning it. The registrar shall then cancel the CPT issued to the intestate and issue a new CPT to
the persons entitled to it. Unless restricted by letters of testamentary or letters of administration, a
personal representative may sell, convey, or mortgage land registered under sections 508A.01
to 508A.85 in the same manner as if the land were registered in the representative's name. The
personal representative shall first file with the registrar a certified copy of any will of the decedent
and a certified copy of the representative's letters.
