Questions answered? Let's get started!
Under the Indiana Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act, found at IC 32-17.5, the beneficiary of an interest in property may renounce the gift, either in part or in full (IC 32-17.5-3-1, 4). Note that the option to disclaim is only available to beneficiaries who have not acted in any way to indicate acceptance or ownership of the interest (IC 32-17.5-8-2).
The disclaimer must be in writing and include a description of the interest, a declaration of intent to disclaim all or a defined portion of the interest, and be signed by the disclaimant in front of a notary (IC 32-17.5-3-3).
Deliver the disclaimer within nine months of the transfer (e.g., the death of the creator of the interest) to the personal representative of the decedent's estate or the court having jurisdiction to appoint such a person (IC 32-17.5-7). In the case of real property, acknowledge the disclaimer as is required for a deed and record it in the county where the property is located. In addition, deliver a copy of the disclaimer to the person or legal entity with current custody or possession of the property.
A disclaimer is irrevocable and binding for the disclaiming party, so be sure to consult an attorney when in doubt about the drawbacks and benefits of disclaiming inherited property. If the disclaimed interest arises out of jointly-owned property, seek legal advice as well.

Not good. The blanks on the form, supposedly especially tailored for the specific county, didn't have enough space for a document name or the doc #. I had to retype the whole doc myself.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the form did not provide enough room for the prior document information you needed to enter. We have canceled the order and reversed the payment. We are also reviewing the field spacing for the prior document title and recording number so we can improve the form. No further action is needed from you.

The Oregon TODD transfer on death deed template worked great and was easy to use. They had instructions and a guide that had good pointers to filling everything out. It took about 2 weeks to mail in my filled TODD and receive it back from the county with their stamp. Would definitely use this service for other documents
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
