Questions answered? Let's get started!
Indiana outlines the rules for its transfer on death deed in I.C. 32-17-14 -- the "Transfer on Death Property Act."
Indiana transfer on death deeds transfer ownership rights of real property to a predetermined beneficiary after the owner's death. This enables Indiana residents to pass their real estate to their heirs outside of probate. The owners keep full control over the property during their lives -- the conveyance only occurs after the owners die -- so they may sell, rent or use the land as they wish. They may change the designated beneficiary or cancel the entire transfer by simply executing a revocation that redefines their wishes.
Note that this is only valid when it is executed (signed) and recorded WHILE THE OWNER IS STILL ALIVE. If not, the deed is void and the property passes through probate with the rest of the owner's estate.
These conveyances might also have an impact on taxes and eligibility for healthcare programs. Carefully review all aspects of estate planning when considering a transfer on death deed.

Finding and downloading necessary forms, and especially the example forms, were tremendously easy and trouble free, and the fact the forms were updated recently was a big selling point. If other forms are needed, this is were I'm coming.

Was a bit difficult to navigate. I feel a fee to access the site and a fee to print is a bit much. I am in the real estate business and find the deeds very useful
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

A refreshingly easy service to use. They offer auxiliary forms as a courtesy. Theres no "gotcha" capitalism. You pay the reasonable fee and the needed forms are accessible instantly to download. I've used it twice so far and it worked perfectly!

I was referred to your company, but when i tried to process the recording of a deed to a property in City of Philadelphia my service was rejected. I appreciated the feedback i received from one of your representatives who instructed me in the right process for recording a deed in philadelphia. Thank you for all your help. The deed that needed to be recorded was overnighted yesterday. Stay safe and mask up
Thank you!

I didn't have any problem downloading and filling out the form on my computer and printing it yesterday. I didn't know what to put for "Source of Title". I called the county recording office; they didn't know either and said to leave it blank. I got the form notarized at my bank and took it in to the recording office. They checked it, accepted it, I paid a fee, and it's done. So easy. My children will appreciate that I've done this. Added note: You do have one typo on your form--you left out 'at'. It should read: "You should carefully read all information at the end of this form."
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
