Utah Transfer on Death Deed or TOD - Beneficiary Deed for Two Individuals to Multiple Individuals
About this form
The Transfer on Death Deed (TOD) allows property owners to transfer the ownership of real estate upon their death without going through probate. This form is particularly useful for transferring property from two individuals to multiple beneficiaries. Unlike a traditional will, the TOD does not take effect until the owner's death, and it is revocable at any time during the owner's lifetime. This means the owner retains the right to sell or modify the property before their passing.
Main sections of this form
- Identifying information section for the property owners (Grantors)
- Details of the primary beneficiary or beneficiaries, who will receive the property
- Option for naming an alternate beneficiary in case the primary does not survive the Grantor
- Revocation clause for previous Transfer on Death Deeds
- Notary acknowledgment to validate the deed
Situations where this form applies
Use the Transfer on Death Deed when you want to ensure that specific individuals inherit your property after your passing, without going through the probate process. This is beneficial if you have multiple children or beneficiaries and wish to avoid complications associated with estate distribution. It can also be useful if you're unsure about future property management or want to maintain flexibility over your property while alive.
