Transfer on Death DeedIf you own property in the state of Minnesota, you may wonder if there is a way to transfer your property to a friend or loved one without the hassle of probate at the time of your death. There is a process, called a Transfer On Death Deed, that allows you to keep ownership while you are still living. At the time of your death, this deed allows ownership of your property to automatically be transferred to your beneficiary that you have chosen.

Benefits of Using a Transfer on Death Deed

The major benefit of using a transfer on death deed is that your beneficiary will not have to deal with the hassle and potential delays of probate at the time of your death. With a probate, the title of your property can be held for a significant period of time while the details of your estate are settled. The transfer on death deed is just like a regular deed but it does not take effect until the time of your death.
