Solved

Mississippi recognizes Transfer on Death (TOD) deeds, often referred to as beneficiary deeds, which allow real property to pass directly to a named beneficiary upon the owner's death without probate (MS Code § 91-27-9). Authorized by the Mississippi Real Property Transfer-on-Death Act, these deeds must be recorded with the chancery clerk before the owner's death.

You just have to ensure that you have signed the deed in front of a notary public prior to recording it to ensure it is valid.

Hi, just ensuring the TODD form I just purchased will be valid once notarized and recorded.

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that ensuring the validity of your TODD form is important to you. Can you tell me which state you are in, as laws can vary by location?
