Questions answered? Let's get started!
An Arizona beneficiary deed runs against a death, and the statute names two of them. Section 33-405(A) sets the transfer at the death of the owner. Subsection D sets it at the death of the last surviving owner where title is held with a right of survivorship. Which one governs a parcel is settled by the vesting already sitting in the county records, and this base Arizona form is built on that fact.
Two statutory triggers, printed as one sentence
The conveyance paragraph carries a single fixed sentence stating both. It conveys the described property to the named grantee beneficiaries effective on my (our) death, that is, on the death of the owner or, where the property is held by the owners as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as community property with right of survivorship, on the death of the last surviving owner. Nothing on the page asks which clause applies; the record answers that. Subsection A requires the deed to state expressly that it is effective on the death of the owner. Subsection D requires an express statement for survivorship property, and adds that where fewer than all such owners sign, the deed operates only if the last survivor was among the signers.
Open blocks where a named configuration would print a recital
This is the base form of the Arizona line, and its party blocks are open entries. The owner block takes one or two individual owners with the status and ownership words the record supports, written out rather than selected from preprinted language. The beneficiary block takes one or two names and, for two, the tenancy they take in: A.R.S. Section 33-405(B) allows joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants in common, the two community property vestings, or any other Arizona tenancy, and makes each interest separate property unless the deed says otherwise. Two signature blocks follow, headed OWNER and SECOND OWNER (if applicable), each with its own acknowledgment certificate, so two owners may acknowledge on different days before different officers; a designation by one owner leaves the second block empty. The form is not set up for an owner that is a company or a trust, for a signature made under a power of attorney, or for title in three or more names.
Both results the legislature printed, neither of them marked
A.R.S. Section 33-405(K) supplies a sufficient form, and inside it sits exactly one question. Where a grantee beneficiary dies first, the statute offers two results for that share: the conveyance becomes null and void, or it becomes part of the estate of the grantee beneficiary. The deed prints both in the statute's own words, each beside its own box, with neither marked on the blank. Subsection C carries a separate rule for a deed no named beneficiary outlives, and the guide states it with its citation. A successor beneficiary is possible under that subsection on a condition the deed states, and this form states none.
Where recording stops being a question of notice
Most Arizona deeds are recorded for priority and notice under Sections 33-411 and 33-412, and an unrecorded one still binds the parties to it. Section 33-405(E) works differently: the deed is valid only if executed and recorded with the recorder of the county holding the land before the death of the owner or the last surviving owner, so a signed deed that never reaches the counter does nothing. Subsection G gives operative effect to the last one recorded before that death. The page answers to A.R.S. Section 11-480, source of the caption, the ten point minimum, and the two inch band whose left three and one half inches carry the requester and return entries. Paragraph B12 of Section 11-1134 exempts a beneficiary deed for nominal consideration from the affidavit of property value, and that notation prints under the legal description.
In Arizona the transfer on death deed and the TOD deed go by one statutory name, the beneficiary deed. Revoking one is its own recorded act under Section 33-405(F) and (L), prepared and recorded separately and not included here. The purchase delivers three files: the fillable beneficiary deed, a completed example on a Coconino County fact pattern, and a guide to the five sections, the execution and certificate rules, and recording. The materials describe this Arizona form and the statutes behind it, and are not legal advice.

It worked great- I had a little trouble at first with the site, figuring out where to do what, but the form was much better than the one we purchased at Staples, loved being able to fill out with the computer. We did need the other form as per the screen prior to ordering but couldn't figure out which one. The ladies at the recorders were great too.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Your data doesn't go deep enough in time to be useful to me. I needed deeds from 1911 to 1966.
Thank you for your feedback Jan. It does look like staff canceled your order after discussing your needs with you.

Very prompt and good resource. Unfortunately, I am unable to find a form for the Quitclaim Deed for an individual to a UNA, so I do not know how to proceed.
Thank you for the kind words, Judith — we’re glad you found the site helpful. Quitclaim deed forms are offered for common ownership scenarios, and some arrangements are not available as pre-made templates. If you have questions about the forms currently offered on the site, our support team can help clarify what is and isn’t available.

Was looking for information and forms relating to a trust my parents created, but what I purchased seems geared toward trusts containing real estate only, which is not what I needed. Clearly I missed something prior to purchasing something I can not use. Perhaps additional clarification for us without any experience is this area would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
