For legislation to authorize owners of interests in real property to execute and record a transfer on death deed to such property. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill allows owners of real estate to create and file a "transfer on death deed," which is a legal document that designates who will inherit the property upon the owner's death. This deed will clearly name the beneficiary or beneficiaries who will receive the property. Importantly, while the deed is in effect, the named beneficiaries have no ownership rights to the property, and the current owner retains complete control, meaning they can sell, mortgage, or cancel the transfer on death deed at any point during their lifetime.
