That's true. Probate, trust, or life estate deed...any of these can distribute the interest to the heirs. I'm still very curious about what a "transfer letter" is, because we've never seen one in our family, ever, when the property passed on to heirs. In all cases but this one, new division orders were created.

The transfer of title does not come from a division order. It comes from the probate proceedings or Will (depending on your state), that distributed the interest to you and your sister. The Division Order is a document that the company uses. It does not transfer title in any regard.
