Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Texas transfer on death deed made by joint owners with right of survivorship cannot be revoked by one owner acting alone. This form prepares the revocation instrument for that situation under Section 114.057 of the Texas Estates Code, built around the statute's distinctive signing rule. The same instrument is also commonly called a cancellation of transfer on death deed.
The Joint Owner Revocation Rule
Under Section 114.057, a transfer on death deed made by two or more joint owners with right of survivorship is revoked only if all living joint owners join in the revocation. After one owner's death, the last surviving joint owner may revoke alone. The form accommodates both situations: while both owners live, both sign; the sole survivor completes only the first signature block, and the operative language recites that the signers constitute all living joint owners or that the single signer is the last surviving owner.
The general revocation requirements apply as well. The revocation operates only if it is acknowledged after the deed being revoked and recorded, before death, in the deed records of the county where that deed is recorded. A will does not revoke a transfer on death deed.
What the Revocation Does and Does Not Change
The revocation removes the beneficiary designation that would have operated at the last owner's death. It does not touch the right of survivorship between the owners, which continues to control what happens at each owner's death, and it does not transfer the property. A new deed signed by all living joint owners revokes an inconsistent earlier deed on its own, and the guide describes both paths.
What the Form Asks For
The form identifies the owners revoking, the property by county and formal legal description, and the deed being revoked by date, recording date, document or instrument number, and recording county, all available from the clerk's stamp on the recorded deed or the clerk's online index. The guide shows where each item appears, and the completed example documents a realistic revocation by two joint owners from start to finish.
What Is Included
- The blank form as a fillable PDF, completed on screen or printed and filled in by hand
- A plain language guide covering every numbered section, what each blank asks, and where the information comes from
- A completed example showing the whole document filled in for a realistic Texas fact pattern
Texas Recording Compliance
The document is formatted for Texas recording standards: letter size pages within the dimensions of Local Government Code Section 191.007, the notice of confidentiality rights required by Property Code Section 11.008 in 12 point boldfaced capitals at the top of the first page, and reserved space on page one for the county clerk's recording stamp. A separate instructions page at the front of the file, not part of the recorded instrument, explains how an entry that outgrows its space continues on a recorded exhibit page. Senate Bill 16, enacted in 2025, also requires a person who presents a document in person for filing in the real property records to present a photo identification to the county clerk, and the guide covers that step in its recording section.

Extremely easy and fast recording of real estate records. I was impressed that it was less than 6 hours from the time I uploaded the document to Deeds.com to receiving confirmation that it was recorded by the county clerk. I would highly recommend this service to save you time and quickly get documents recorded!

The form was short, and explainable.. so that is my feed back on that...but we have not received anything back to actually see if we filled the form out correctly. So I definitely can not say if I'm satisfied with it or not until I know that it is approved. I would recommend Coos County web site for Forms to people. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Not totally satisfied as unable to edit as needed on signature page of the deed. I want to be able to date the document and don't want the verbage "signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of" to appear and cannot remove it. The notary will make his or her own statement below as to the date executed.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
