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.
Transfer-on-death (TOD) and payable-on-death (POD) designations can be useful methods of transferring assets to heirs when used in conjunction with a well-thought-out estate plan. Reviewing the asset titling and designated beneficiaries of accounts is a sound practice at the time an estate plan is updated.
Beneficiary Liability: A beneficiary named in a TOD deed becomes personally liable for the property owners unsecured debts up to the value of the property received. This result may have been unintended by the owner and as an unpleasant surprise to the beneficiary.
You can obtain one from an online search for Beneficiary Deed or Transfer on Death Deed or often from the same Recorders Office that holds copies of the deeds. Ensure that you find one for the state where the property is located. Complete the form, being specific about the beneficiaries.
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.
