HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR HOUSE PASSES TO YOUR LOVED ONES!
Did you know that having a will does not automatically keep your house out of probate court?
If you own real estate, here are three things you should know about a Beneficiary Deed:
• Number one: Zero loss of control. Your beneficiary has no rights to the property while you’re alive. You don’t need their permission to sell, remodel, or mortgage it.*
• Number two: It skips probate. When you pass away, the property transfers directly to your named beneficiaries with simple paperwork, saving time and court fees.*
• Number three: Mistakes on the deed can void it. If legal descriptions, notary acknowledgments, or county recording rules aren’t followed precisely, the transfer fails when it matters most.*
A Beneficiary Deed (or Transfer-on-Death Deed) lets you name who inherits your real estate when you pass away, directly and automatically—bypassing probate entirely.
The best part? You stay in 100% control during your lifetime. You can sell the house, refinance, or revoke the deed at any time.
