Utah Transfer on Death Deed or TOD - Beneficiary Deed for Two Married Individuals to a Business
What is this form?
The Transfer on Death Deed (TOD) is a legal document that allows two married individuals to transfer the ownership of a parcel of land to a business entity upon the death of the owners. Unlike traditional deeds, this document does not transfer any current ownership interest in the property and can be revoked at any time before the death of the grantor. This makes it a flexible and efficient tool for estate planning, ensuring that the property passes directly to the designated beneficiary without going through probate.
