The Quitclaim Deed: The quitclaim deed is the worst type of deed because it conveys no warranty whatsoever that the sellers title is good title or that there are no encumbrances on the property.
One of the more accessible and efficient tools available to those looking to bypass probate is a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed. A transfer-on-death deed is a legal document that specifies which beneficiary will inherit the deceaseds real estate after their passing.
Once you name beneficiaries, the deed automatically transfers ownership to them upon your death. You can revoke or change the TODD during your lifetime, but thats about the extent of control you have. In contrast, a trust gives you far more flexibility and control.
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.
Generally, the most efficient way for the transfer to happen is at death via a trust. The deed is titled within your family trust or transfer on death deed. The trust transfers the assets to the children at passing. Skips probate.
