FAQ

Arizona allows individuals to transfer property to a beneficiary through what is known as a beneficiary deed. A beneficiary deed is sometimes referred to as a ?transfer on death deed,? or TOD deed. It is a legal document that grants a residential property to a designated beneficiary upon the death of an individual.

In the event that your mother recorded the beneficiary deed, the home likely became yours immediately upon her death, and it should not be subject to the terms of her will.

Once you create a beneficiary deed, it needs to be recorded with the county recorder in the county where the property is located.

You must sign the deed and get your signature notarized, and then record (file) the deed with the recorder's office before your death. Otherwise, it won't be valid. You can make an Arizona beneficiary deed with WillMaker.
