Questions answered? Let's get started!
Comparable to Ladybird, beneficiary, and enhanced life estate deeds, these instruments permit homeowners to name a beneficiary to gain title to their residential real property following the owner's death, while retaining absolute possession of and control over the property while alive. Because the Illinois document DOES NOT transfer ownership when it's executed, the owner may revoke the transfer at will, and is allowed to reallocate, sell, or otherwise dispose of the real estate as desired with no penalties, restrictions or obligation.
(Illinois Transfer on Death Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Did not need power to "serve" contractor. All work done well, paid for, nothing more. Worth noting when things could go awry!
Thank you!

I could not be happier with the service. Shortly after I uploaded my documents, my package was prepared and invoiced. It was only minutes before the document was recorded with the County I selected and returned to me with their seal for download.

This would be a great form but I couldn’t tell what size the font was. Also, I didn’t know how to save it so I will have to type it all over again. I’m sure I did it incorrectly.
Your feedback is a crucial part of our dedication to ongoing improvement. Thank you for your insightful comments.
