Under Wisconsin Statutes section 705.15, owners of real property in Wisconsin may designate one or more people to gain ownership of their property outside of the probate process. The transfer on death deed form contains the designation and must be recorded, DURING THE OWNER'S NATURAL LIFE, for validity.
By executing and recording a transfer on death beneficiary designation, the owner retains absolute control over the real estate, and may sell, mortgage, or use the property in any legal manner, and change or revoke the beneficiary designation without penalty or obligation to inform the beneficiary.
Because the transfer does not occur until after the owner's death, there is no transfer tax due when recording the deed under 77.21(1) and 77.25(10m). While the change in ownership happens as a function of law when the owner dies, when the beneficiary claims the land, he or she must record form TOD-110 to make the transfer official and enter the updated information into the public records.
Wisconsin's transfer on death deeds are useful estate planning tools. Even so, carefully consider the potential impact of a non-probate transfer of property on taxes, as well as eligibility for local, state, and federal benefits. Each case is unique, so contact an attorney with questions or for complex situations.

Since the recorder's office is closed, due to Covid, this worked well to submit my Quit Claim Deed. I was a bit confused with the direction and download. But, I think I got her done! We'll see if I get recorded and confirmation is received. I may be back
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

When I found this website, I was confused and hesitant to use this website to submit paperwork that needed to be submitted to the Clerks of Courts in Miami. I am glad I decided to go through with it. It was the easiest process I have encountered even with working with the City. Highly recommend as it is super easy to use and received that everything was approved and recorded in two working days. Thank you so much for bringing my stress level lower as many uncertainties of how to process my paperwork. Will use it again to finish my project as the City continues to not accept walk ins. Thank you so much.
So glad we were able help Jose, have a amazing day!
