Original caption

There is no strict legal deadline to finalize a transfer on death deed (TODD) after a property owner’s death, but you should typically record an Affidavit of Death and the deceased’s death certificate within 7 to 9 months, depending on your state. Although the property automatically transfers to the named beneficiary at the exact moment of death, failing to record the necessary documents can prevent you from legally selling or refinancing the property later and some states will require Probate. #moneytips #probate #transferondeathdeed #todd #estateplanning
