Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Minnesota, transfer on death deeds are governed by Minn. Stat. 507.071.
While the statute provides a basic form, as well as overall content requirements, the state authorized the development of uniform conveyance documents for some specific situations. Transfer on death deeds are useful estate planning tools for those who wish to pass real estate down to designated beneficiaries, outside of the probate process.
Mistakes or omissions in such deeds can force the property back into the estate and subject it to probate distribution, despite the grantor owner's best intentions. For example, the rules for joint tenants who wish to convey property with a transfer on death deed are found in 507.071, subd. 6. A correctly-completed basic statutory form is effective in many cases, but because joint tenants are often married to one another, and to ensure that all the required information is included, there is a special deed for this circumstance.
This transfer on death deed form is for use ONLY by married grantor owners who hold title as joint tenants.
As with other transfer on death deeds, this form must be executed and RECORDED during the grantor owner's lifetime.

I ordered the wrong forms because I didn't do enough research to understand what I needed. Their customer service was more understanding than I deserved.
Thank you!

Deeds gave me the forms and the guidance that I needed. If I had paid a pro for this service it would have cost at least $300.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The service itself is great, but the deed sample I ordered wasn't as accurate as I'd hoped. I needed to correct and resubmit. Not a huge deal, but a bit of an inconvenience.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I ordered the wrong forms at first because I'm an idiot and didn't do my research. When I told the customer service about my error they were understanding.

A suggestion: Include instructions on how to add your spouse to the deed, rather than transferring completely to a third party
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Adding a spouse to a deed is a common need, and suggestions like yours help us identify where additional guidance would be useful. We’ll take this into consideration as we continue improving our resources.

Good after I figured out the form process. Hopefully I won't be charged for two as I redid the request thinking I might have made a mistake in the first request.
Thank you for your feedback Joyce. We have reviewed your account and there have been no duplicate orders submitted. Have a great day!
