A will can be enough to distribute a simple estate after you\u2019re gone. In many people\u2019s lives, a deed is the key asset. It can be passed along to your chosen beneficiary through a will. And no matter what other instruments you might use, you absolutely do need a will<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the will can be your core estate planning document. Still, you might want or need more. Here are some points to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If Your Name Alone Is on the Deed, It Can Pass Through the Will<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you own your home as a solo deed holder. If so, it\u2019s fine to pass your title along to your chosen beneficiary in your will. You can also use a will to transfer a co-owned title that the co-owners vested as tenants in common.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you could simply use a quitclaim deed<\/em><\/a> and pass your interest to someone now. But a will has advantages in many cases, including the possible benefit of a stepped-up cost basis (that is, lower capital gains tax) if your beneficiary wishes to sell the real estate. Probate is a public, court-supervised process to distribute your assets according to the directions stated in your will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s good to remember that the transfer might not be automatic<\/a>. When your will goes into probate, your named executor will need to satisfy your debts (including the mortgage balance<\/a>) first, before passing along your deed (or its left-over equity). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in a community property state<\/a> (where property acquired during marriage<\/em> becomes joint), a home can still be set aside or \u201creserved\u201d as sole property. If you owned the home before marrying, or if someone gifts or bequeaths a home to you, you may continue to keep it as sole and separate property. A family or estate lawyer can draft a legal agreement to this effect. Then, you can bequeath the home through your will. Your specific state\u2019s law can tell you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jointly Held Deed Won\u2019t Pass Through the Will<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But what your will says about your deed<\/a> won\u2019t matter if your home is vested jointly with survivorship rights. So, check your deed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a <\/strong><\/em>copy of your real estate deed<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the case if the deed says you co-own as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. The tenancy by the entirety<\/em> vesting form also comes with survivorship rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If another person is vested with rights of survivorship, then at the time of your passing, your interest in the deed goes to your co-owner, by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your co-owner will need to notify the county recorder\u2019s office<\/a> to officially record their full ownership of the home you co-owned while living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Property Can Bypass the Will<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you have an interest in trust property. That asset passes to the trust beneficiaries separately from a will, to bypass probate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful not to consider trust property as an asset for your will to transfer. Sending mixed messages could mean leaving an important personal decision to a probate court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if your state allows property to pass through a transfer on death deed<\/em>, and you decide to use this method, the property passes outside of probate and the will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we\u2019re on the topic, remember that life insurance proceeds and retirement account funds pass to the beneficiaries, not through your will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
