This is also called a transfer-on-death deed, and may be completed without an attorney, if desired. Naming a transfer-on-death beneficiary allows you to choose someone to inherit your home, may offer tax benefits, and bypasses probate.
Once recorded, the TOD deed cannot be changed or revoked easily. You lose flexibility should your circumstances or wishes change in the future. And if you need to sell or mortgage the property, your designated beneficiary must agree by signing off, even though they have no current ownership rights.
Unlike a traditional deed transfer, a beneficiary deed takes effect only upon your death. This means you retain full control over the property during your lifetime, including the ability to sell, mortgage, or manage it. Upon your death, the property transfers automatically to your named beneficiary, bypassing probate.
(Ark. Code Ann. 18-12-608.) You must sign the deed and get your signature docHubd, and then record (file) the deed before your death with the county clerk, circuit clerk, or recorders office (the name varies by county) in the county where the real estate is located.
