USE CASES FOR A TRANSFER ON DEATH DEED

An owner with a property located in one of the above listed states can create and file a Transfer on Death Deed.

There are almost no limits on who can be named as a Beneficiary of a TOD deed: a family member, friend, charitable organization, business, even a Living Trust. In most states, the Owner can name one Beneficiary or multiple Beneficiaries to own the property after the Owner’s death. The Owner can even name contingent (or alternate) Beneficiaries in case the initial Beneficiary predeceases the Owner.

A TOD deed can be used if there is one Owner of a property or multiple Owners. Where there is one Owner, that Owner simply names the Beneficiaries who will receive the property upon the Owner’s death, and properly identifies the property to be transferred.

Different rules apply when there are multiple Owners of a property based on how those multiple Owners hold title to the property, i.e. Tenants in Common, Joint Tenants, or Community Property.
