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. One such situation occurs when a married property owner holds sole title to the real estate he or she wishes to convey with a transfer on death deed. A correctly-completed basic statutory form is valid in most cases, but because the owner's husband or wife may be able to claim spousal interest in the property, these deeds require the spouse to sign a statement releasing any marital rights. Without this release, the non-probate transfer on death may not occur, and the property could revert to the deceased owner's estate for probate distribution instead. To prevent such unintended outcomes, there is a special deed for this circumstance.
This transfer on death deed form is for use ONLY by married grantor owners who are the sole spouse on the property's title.
As with other transfer on death deeds, this form must be executed and RECORDED during the grantor owner's lifetime.

One of the most satisfactory and easy to use websites I have come across. Being able to record documents in the court records without having to pay an atty $500 per hour and accomplish the recording in about 24 hours instead of days and even weeks i s invaluable. Worked perfectly.
Thank you!

The site delivered just what it promised - I needed a specific deed formatted for a specific county/state, and they delivered it at a great price. One note for improvement - it is not intuitively obvious that I could go back and re-download if necessary and this caused me stress, but a follow up email alleviated this. Great service!
Thank you for the kind words Bobby, have a great day!

The paperwork/forms are fine, but there isn't enough explanation for me to figure out how to file the extra forms (which I do need in my case). The main form, Deed Upon Death is fine. I think the price is pretty high for these forms. I wouldn't have purchased it because there are places to get them for much cheaper (about 6 dollars), but this site had the extra forms I wanted (property in a trust and another form). Unfortunately these were included as a "courtesy" and there are no instructions for them. So three stars for being clear about what was in the package, having the right forms that I need, but instructions for putting them to use and price took a couple of stars off. Downloading was easy and once you download you can type the info into the PDF--that makes working with the forms much easier.
Thank you for the feedback Maria. Regarding the supplement documents, it is best to get assistance from the agency that requires them. These are not legal documents, they should provide full support and guidance for them.

I needed to create a deed of distribution for my probate case. The instructions as to what was needed on the caption page was lacking. Because of the lack of information I still had to have an attorney review the documents as I didn't feel confident in the instructions given.
Thank you for your review. Our deed of distribution package is designed as a strong primer to help people understand the process and prepare accurate documents. That said, probate filings can involve details that vary by court and jurisdiction.
We’re glad you sought attorney review when you weren’t completely sure—that’s exactly what we recommend. We always encourage customers to work with a qualified legal professional if they are not absolutely confident, since accuracy and acceptance are what matter most.
