Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Texas transfer on death deed (TODD) allows property owners to designate a beneficiary who will receive real estate upon the owner's death, outside the probate process. The owner retains full control during their lifetime: they can sell, mortgage, rent, or use the property however they wish, with no obligation to notify the beneficiary (Tex. Est. Code § 114.101).
IMPORTANT: Transfer on death deeds and associated revocations must be recorded while the owner is alive or they have no effect.

Revocability
The deed is completely revocable. Because no consideration changes hands and beneficiaries need not be notified, the owner can change their mind at any time by recording a new TODD, executing a revocation, or conveying the property to someone else (§ 114.052, § 114.057).

Execution Requirements (§ 114.055)
To be valid, a Texas transfer on death deed must meet all state and local standards for recordable deeds, state that the transfer takes effect at the owner's death, and be recorded in the county clerk's office where the property is located during the owner's lifetime.

How Title Passes
The deed conveys title without warranties, subject to any existing encumbrances at the time of death (§ 114.104(a)). Multiple beneficiaries receive equal, undivided shares with no right of survivorship unless otherwise specified (§ 114.103(a)(3)). Beneficiaries may disclaim all or part of their interest if desired (§ 114.105).

Coordination with Estate Plans
Under § 114.057(b), the recorded TODD takes precedence over conflicting provisions in the owner's will. For a cohesive estate plan, all documents should work together to carry out the owner's intent.
Texas adopted transfer on death deeds under the Texas Real Property Transfer on Death Act (Chapter 114, Texas Estates Code), modeled after the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act. The effect of a TODD on a comprehensive estate plan and eligibility for needs-based benefits varies by situation. For complex circumstances or additional questions, consult a local attorney.

Assistance from the associate was good. He told me what I needed to hear and took the time to look up deeds that I was looking for. Though the deed was not available he gave me recommendation on my future calls to ask. Great personality and very helpful.

I sent Deeds.com an email with a question, asking for a little guidance as to which form(s) I need, but I'm waiting for a reply. My wife and I own 3 homes (2 in Indiana & 1 in Florida). We are needing to deed each to ourselves and put them into our living trust. I asked Deeds.com to please help by suggesting which forms I need for this. I do not want to get the wrong ones. I have not received a reply yet. When I receive a helpful reply and am able to purchase the correct forms, I am fairly certain my rating will go from 1 to 5. I withhold judgement until later.

The service was prompt and attentive to my questions. I would've just appreciated a heads up that I also needed to contact the county directly (and provide contact info) to receive a certified copy of the document (Notice of Commencement) in order to submit the certified copy to the Building Department. This was an extra step that I haven't had to complete before using another eRecording service. Even if this extra step is a result of the county's system. I would still have expected a head's up (since there wasn't any info regarding this on the county's site for eRecording).

The website worked fine and I would have been happy to pay the extra money except the deed I needed was "not available". Ended up calling the courthouse anyway.
