When a Deputy sells a property belonging to a PWD what happens to the Money.....does it go into a separate Deputy Account or into the PWD account? I read something about a separate deputy account being set up?

A deputy can operate an existing account which is still in the name of the protected person.
If, for any reason, they open a further account to hold the person's funds it is called a deputy account.
Which account any funds go into is a financial decision.

When I sold mums property I opened a deputy account to put the money into
