Minnesota Transfer on Death Deed Forms

Avoid the probate process for your real estate property when you die by filing a Minnesota Transfer on Death Deed (Beneficiary Deed) form.

• The Transfer on Death Deed (also called a beneficiary deed or a TOD) is signed and filed with the Recorder's Office before the original owner passes away.
• Title to the property is transferred to the beneficiary (or beneficiaries).
• Although the deed is re-titled in the beneficiary's name at this time, the original owner still has rights to the property and can do whatever he or she pleases with the property until the time of his or her death, without the permission of the beneficiary.
• The package also includes a Revocation of Transfer on Death Deed, if you decide you want to cancel the Transfer on Death Deed after it has been filed.
