A beneficiary deed must be lawfully executed and recorded during the owner's life or it has no effect.
The Montana Legislature enacted the state's beneficiary deed law, found at Montana Code Annotated Section 72-6-121. All following parenthetical references identify the part of that section which contains additional information.
Beneficiary deeds are nontestamentary documents (11) that convey a potential future interest in real property, but they only become effective when the owner dies. Until that point, the owner retains absolute title to, control over, and use of the property, including the freedom to change or revoke the beneficiary designation, or to sell the property to someone else (6). If an owner executes and records more than one beneficiary deed concerning the same real property, the document recorded closest to the owner's death is the effective beneficiary deed (8).
Note that if the real estate is held as joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, all co-owners should sign the deed or the future transfer might be voided. Review the statute carefully and contact an attorney with questions before executing a beneficiary deed for jointly-held property (4).
Grantee beneficiaries are the declared recipients of the real estate, but they have no rights to or interest in it until the owner's death. They gain title according to the owner's instructions as stated on the recorded deed. By accepting the transfer, beneficiaries become bound to fulfill any obligations, including mortgages or financial agreements associated with the land during the owner's life (1). These obligations may also include a claim against the property by the state for Medicaid benefit reimbursement (7). The signature, consent, or agreement of, or notice to, a grantee beneficiary of a beneficiary deed is not required for any purpose during the lifetime of the owner (10).
Two or more grantee beneficiaries may hold title as tenants in common, joint tenants, or any other form of ownership allowed by Montana laws (2). Owners may also specify one or more successor beneficiaries in case the primary ones are unable or unwilling to accept the transfer after the owner's death (3).
Beneficiary deeds are convenient, flexible tools to include in an overall estate plan, but they may not be appropriate for everyone. Contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex situations.

Had a difficult time finding my download after purchase. Thankfully I had printed the form and had. However it was read only and I'm not experienced enough to be able to change that. So I went into my word program and typed in the form. I should be able to use it for my purpose. Just glad I was finally able to find it after hours of searching online. I'm in my 70's and not real computer intelligent which may have been part of the problem
Sorry to hear of your struggle Margaret, we will try harder to make our forms easier for everyone.
