The Texas TOD deed form allows property to be automatically transferred to a new owner when the current owner dies, without the need to go through probate. It also gives the current owner retained control over the property, including the right to change his or her mind about the transfer.
Now, people can convey clear title to their property by completing a transfer on death deed form, signing it in front of a notary, and filing it in the deed records office in the county where the property is located before they die at a cost of less than fifty dollars.
In a joint tenancy, when one owner dies, his or her share of the property passes to the decedent's heirs or to the persons named in the decedent's will. In a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, when an owner dies, his or her share of the property goes to the other owners.
The Transfer on Death Deed must:Be in writing, signed by the owner, and notarized.Have a legal description of the property (The description is found on the deed to the property or in the deed records.Have the name and address of one or more beneficiaries.State that the transfer will happen at the owner's death.More items...?
If the property owner is deceased, he or she can no longer sign the deed. In that case, you need something different such as an Affidavit of Heirship, a probated Will or a court order determining heirship. First the deceased owner's name must be removed from the record ownership of the house (the title).
