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. Typically, all they need to provide is the death certificate and identification to the account-holding institution.
If youre thinking about ways to keep your home out of probate, and TOD deeds are an available option in your state, they are well worth considering. Unless you have a complex situation or have specific concerns, you likely wont need a lawyer to create a TOD deed.
Potential for Disputes: Disputes among beneficiaries or challenges to the validity of the TOD deed can arise. Ambiguities in the deed, conflicting claims from heirs, or allegations of undue influence can result in legal disputes, delaying the process and undermining the intended efficiency of TOD deeds.
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.
