Keep Your Home Out of Probate With One Deed

A Transfer on Death Deed lets you pass your Texas real estate to the people you choose, with no probate court involved. Our Texas attorneys draft it for a flat $300. You answer a few questions online, we prepare the deed to meet state rules, and your home is ready to transfer when the time comes.

How It Works

What a Transfer on Death Deed Does

A Transfer on Death Deed names who inherits your house or land when you pass away. While you are alive, nothing about your ownership changes. You can still sell the property, refinance it, or cancel the deed whenever you want. The home moves to your beneficiary the moment you pass, with no court filing and no executor in the middle.

Who It Is For

Who Should Use a Transfer on Death Deed

This deed fits any Texan who owns a home or land and wants it to reach a specific person without the cost and delay of probate. It works for a paid-off house or one with a mortgage, and for a homestead, rental, or open land. If you also need a will or powers of attorney, our Estate Planning Assessment covers the rest.

FAQs

Questions About Transfer on Death Deeds

Does a TODD avoid probate in Texas?

Yes, for the property it names. When you pass, your beneficiary takes ownership directly, so that real estate never enters probate court.

Can I change my mind after I sign it?

Yes. You can cancel a TODD or record a new one any time while you are alive. Your beneficiary holds no rights until your death.

Can I still sell or mortgage my home?

Yes. The deed has no effect while you are living, so you keep full control to sell, refinance, or rent the property.

What if I have a mortgage?

A TODD still works. Your beneficiary takes the property along with any loan or lien on it, the same as in other transfers.

Can I name more than one beneficiary?

Yes. You can name several beneficiaries and set how the property splits among them, and we draft the deed to match.

Is a TODD the same as a will?

No. A will covers your whole estate and goes through probate. A TODD covers only the real estate you name and skips probate.

Do I need a lawyer to record it?

You record it yourself at the county clerk's office with the instructions we give you. The attorney drafting is what your $300 covers.
