If you own real estate and want to make sure it passes to someone you choose when you die, you may have heard about a Transfer on Death Deed, often called a TODD.

A Transfer on Death Deed is a legal document that allows you to name someone who will receive your real estate when you pass away. One of the biggest benefits is that the property can transfer to your named beneficiary without going through probate.

It sounds simple, and in many cases, it can be. But there are some important things to understand before deciding whether a Transfer on Death Deed is right for you.

But that is not always how it works. Read on to learn more: https://www.dallawfirm.com/blog/2026/09/banks-and-beneficiary-designations-during-probate/
