Questions answered? Let's get started!
Community property with right of survivorship lets a married couple in Texas pass their home to the surviving spouse at the first death without probate. By itself it does not say who receives the property after both spouses are gone. A transfer on death deed in this form answers that, naming the beneficiaries who take at the death of the last surviving spouse under Chapter 114 of the Texas Estates Code, built around the couple's community property survivorship agreement under Chapter 112.
Two Instruments, Two Deaths
The survivorship agreement and the deed divide the work. At the first death, the deceased spouse's interest passes to the surviving spouse under the survivorship agreement, and the deed transfers nothing. At the death of the last surviving spouse, the deed operates and the named beneficiaries receive the property. The form states this timing expressly, and its survival requirement runs from the last surviving spouse: a beneficiary qualifies by surviving the second death by 120 hours.
Why Community Property Has Its Own Deed Form
Section 114.002(3) of the Estates Code excludes owners of community property, with or without a right of survivorship, from the statutory definition of joint owners with right of survivorship. A deed that recites a joint tenancy, or leans on the joint owner provisions of Chapter 114, misdescribes how these Texas spouses hold title. This form recites community property with right of survivorship, identifies the Chapter 112 agreement by date and recording reference, and relies on that agreement, not a joint tenancy, for the first death. Each spouse may revoke the deed as to that spouse's interest under Chapter 114, and the deed neither creates nor modifies the survivorship agreement.
Recording Both Instruments
The deed must be recorded before death in the county where the property is located; that is an effectiveness requirement under Section 114.055. The survivorship agreement is effective when signed, and recording it serves notice and title purposes. Where both instruments exist, Texas practice is to record both, often together. Both spouses sign, and the form carries a separate notary certificate for each.
What Is Included
- The blank form as a fillable PDF, completed on screen or by hand.
- A plain language guide covering every numbered section: what each blank asks, where the information comes from, and what a correct entry looks like.
- A completed example filled in for a realistic Texas fact pattern.
The document is formatted for Texas recording: letter size pages within Local Government Code Section 191.007, body text above the 8 point minimum, 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 clerk's recording stamp. A separate instructions page at the front describes how an entry that outgrows its space continues on a recorded exhibit page, and that page is removed before recording.
Related Texas Forms
The Texas Community Property Survivorship Agreement documents the survivorship arrangement this deed recites. The Texas Revocation of Community Property Survivorship Agreement ends that arrangement. A recorded deed on this form is revoked under Chapter 114, including by a recorded cancellation instrument. The Texas Affidavit of Death for Transfer on Death Deed documents the transfer in the title records after the death of the last surviving spouse.

I found the site very easy to use and upfront about the cost. I had tried two other sites both of which had hidden costs until after I filled out the forms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I didn't have any problem downloading and filling out the form on my computer and printing it yesterday. I didn't know what to put for "Source of Title". I called the county recording office; they didn't know either and said to leave it blank. I got the form notarized at my bank and took it in to the recording office. They checked it, accepted it, I paid a fee, and it's done. So easy. My children will appreciate that I've done this. Added note: You do have one typo on your form--you left out 'at'. It should read: "You should carefully read all information at the end of this form."
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My overall experience was positive. Little trouble uploading documents but resolved. I had two mineral deeds to file in Arkansas, two different counties, exactly the same form, only difference being property description; one was completed, one was canceled. I emailed to inquire why and the reply was in an automatic email indicating that email address was not monitored and if further action would be taken on Deeds.com part, I would be notified. Other than that, I would recommend their services to avoid using snail mail.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Disappointed. Description of Lien discharge form does not indicate it is specific to Mechanic liens. I'm inexperienced with liens & should have contacted someone before I ordered.
Sorry to hear that, it does look like our product description was lacking clarity. We have updated the description to better reflect the documents. We have also canceled your order and refunded the payment. Hope you have a great day.
