Getting the Deed Done in Texas

7/6/2018

I usually draft these blogs from scratch, but I ran across a very helpful link published by the Real Estate, Probate and Trust Law (REPTL) Section of the State Bar of Texas that answers many of the questions my clients ask about how, when and why to pass title to real estate.  I've been a member of the section for years but had never seen this resource before, so I thought I'd pass it on:   Pay no attention to the fact it uses the term, "conveyancing" which has an extra and unnecessary syllable ("conveying" works just as well) - hey, they're lawyers.

I want to draw your attention to one particular type of deed: the Transfer on Death Deed, or TODD.  This is a way for people whose estate consists of just real estate (usually a residence) and a few personal items to potentially avoid probate by conveying the property, but having the deed not take effect until they die.  There's more to it
(it's revocable, for one, which is potentially a good thing), but it's worth a look.
