What is a Transfer on Death Deed?

A Transfer on Death Deed is a unique type of deed that can be prepared, during the owner's lifetime, to transfer title of a real estate to a designated beneficiary. The title will transfer to the beneficiary only after the original owner's death.

Who would benefit from a Transfer on Death Deed?

An individual who owns solely real estate can benefit from preparing a Transfer on Death Deed as it is shorter and easier to prepare than a trust. A non-resident of the United States or a person who lives in a state other than the one in which the real estate exists can benefit from preparing this easy-to-prepare deed.
