Transfer on Death Deed by Unmarried Grantor Owner -- Minnesota Form 10.8.1
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. For example, to add clarity, there is a form specifically designed for use by unmarried grantor owners. A correctly-completed basic statutory form is valid in most cases, but it asks for information that may not apply to a single individual. By providing incorrect or conflicting information, even if it is unnecessary, the grantor owner might inadvertently cause the property to revert to the deceased owner's estate for probate distribution.
This transfer on death deed form is for use ONLY by unmarried grantor owners.
As with other transfer on death deeds, this form must be executed and RECORDED during the grantor owner's lifetime.
(Minnesota TOD Deed by Unmarried Owner Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
Important: Your property must be located in Cook County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

It's useful to have forms specific to the County as well as the State. The examples are also helpful, but it would be even more helpful to see an example of a complete and successfully filed package. I will go the County Recorder's Office to see if I can find an example there.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

What a wonderful and easy task using deeds.com. I searched on line for the proper procedure to file a quit claim deed. It looked to confusing to do mysellf until I found deeds.com. With their instructions, I was able to fill out all the proper forms and file with the court in two days. Saved me at least a thousand dollars if I had an attorney do the same. Thank you. I will definitely use them again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The website was easy to navigate but only needed one form. The guide was helpful also. Cost want high but contains many documents that I didn't need but may someday. Could not save form after completed but printed copies that needed to be court filed.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Great resource! Wish you could expand to more than just deeds, but then you would have to rename it. :) Thanks! Kelly
