Can A Transfer On Death Deed Avoid Texas Probate?

Yes. TODDs can be a strategic tool to bypass the often complex and lengthy probate process in Texas. By directly transferring property to your designated beneficiary upon your passing, a TODD simplifies the transition of your estate.

Does A Transfer On Death Deed Protect Against Creditor Claims?

A TODD generally won’t shield your estate from creditor claims. The beneficiary will be on the hook for any outstanding debts that your estate doesn’t satisfy, which is why it’s important to plan ahead and avoid that scenario. Note that a mortgage or lien on the property will transfer along with it. But our lawyers can help you understand how real estate taxes and creditor claims might affect your estate and work with you.

Can A Transfer On Death Deed Be Contested?

Like any estate planning document, a TODD may be contested. Our team will help you anticipate potential disputes and take proactive steps to minimize the likelihood of a contest. We strive to create a strong TODD that stands firm against challenges.
