Once recorded, the deed is returned to the new owner who usually deposits it in a safe place with his or her important papers. However, if misplaced or lost, a copy may be obtained from the Recorders Office and certified with the Recorders signature and official stamp or seal. This will suffice for the original deed.
Another option is a transfer on death (TOD) deed, also called a beneficiary deed.
To create a Transfer on Death Deed, you must prepare a deed that includes specific language and meets the legal requirements set forth by Missouri law. The deed should clearly state that the transfer of the property will occur upon the owners death and name the designated beneficiaries.

Related Q&A to Real Estate Beneficiary Deed

The key purpose of a beneficiary deed is to transfer real estate to your heir in the future, and not in the present moment. The secondary (and also key) purpose is to keep your property outside of probate. If you simply leave your property to your heir in a Will, then that property will be subject to probate.
The fee charged by a local County Recorder of Deeds office to record a Beneficiary Deed averages between $24 and $30.
The deed should clearly state that the transfer of the property will occur upon the owners death and name the designated beneficiaries. Once the TOD Deed is signed, docHubd, and recorded with the appropriate county recorders office, it becomes a legally binding document.
