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 on accounts is usually a good thing, not a negative, unless you have a specific reason to the contrary.
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.
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.
A transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangement is an estate planning tool that allows account owners to transfer assets from bonds, brokerage accounts, and stocks without going through probate proceedings. However, TOD does not avoid taxes.

A beneficiary form states who will directly inherit the asset at your death. Under a TOD arrangement, you keep full control of the asset during your lifetime and pay taxes on any income the asset generates as you own it outright. TOD arrangements require minimal paperwork to establish.
