A Transfer on Death Deed can be a great way to ensure your loved ones or Beneficiaries get the inheritance you intend. It streamlines the process, allowing for a simple transfer of property ownership without the headache, cost and time that probate requires.
The Bottom Line. A transfer on death, or TOD, is a designation that allows assets to pass directly to a beneficiary after they die. The account owner specifies the percentage of assets each beneficiary receives, allowing their executor to distribute without first passing through probate.
Pennsylvania lets you register stocks and bonds in transfer-on-death (TOD) form. People commonly hold brokerage accounts this way. If you register an account in TOD (also called beneficiary) form, the beneficiary you name will inherit the account automatically at your death.
Disadvantages of transfer on death deeds Creditors may come after the new owner(s) of the property. Beneficiaries may get equal shares of the asset. Not available in many states. Unintentional disinheritance. Raises the risk that estate planning documents dont match.
Designated beneficiaries receive the funds without having to wait for probate to conclude, which can take months. A POD or TOD account allows loved ones to get money almost immediately.
