Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

My parents have died and the property is divided according to a will that has been probated. My sister is selling me her part of the inheritance which includes the house and 2 acres of land. We have already worked out the price and details of payment (installment) but don't know what document we need for this. Promissory note or deed or trust?

My advice is to get a real estate lawyer to set this up properly for you. The probate lawyer ought to be familiar enough with the documents to be able to do this.
