Topic

California’s Revocable Transfer on Death Deed; Simple Non-probate Transfer or Trap for the Unwary?

California’s new Revocable Transfer on Death Deed seems like a simple method of transferring real estate upon one’s death; the convenience of right of survivorship with unobstructed rights to revoke the deed without the beneficiary’s consent.  People with smaller estates might use this deed to transfer their homes and avoid probate.  However, a beneficiary might be worse off having received property under this type of deed, due to severe and surprising rights afforded the decedent’s pesonal representative and creditors.  This presentation will educate you on the pitfalls associated with this type of transfer, which you should be aware of in order to properly advise clients.
