There seems to be a common misconception that adding a Transfer on Death (TOD) designation (also known as a beneficiary designation) to assets will cure all concerns at death. For the majority of families, this is not an accurate belief. While a TOD may avoid Probate, it does not solve all family concerns at death.
TOD accounts offer several advantages. The main benefits are that these accounts avoid probate, are easy and cost-effective to set up, and generally transfer assets to beneficiaries very quickly.
However, there are many cons of TOD deeds: TOD Deeds do not always avoid probate. If a named beneficiary becomes disabled prior to the death of the owner, a disabled beneficiary could be knocked off of public benefits, such as SSI and Medicaid.
A TOD deed is generally void if it is not recorded before the death of the owner. A TOD deed is not a good choice if the beneficiary needs to sell the property and receive the proceeds soon after the owners death, because doing so may not be possible until 12 months or after the owners death.

A Transfer on Death (TOD) deed must meet specific requirements to be effective and legally binding.
