Name who receives your Missouri real estate—without probate—while keeping full control during your lifetime.
Transfer Real Estate Without Probate
A beneficiary deed—also known as a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed—lets you name who should receive your Missouri real estate when you pass away. You keep full ownership and control during your lifetime; the transfer occurs automatically upon death.
Key Advantages
- Avoids probate for the property named in the deed
- Simple to record, update, or revoke
- Preserves your right to sell or refinance during life
Is a Beneficiary Deed Right for You?
Beneficiary deeds work well for many single-property owners and can complement a broader estate plan. Our Missouri estate planning attorneys can help you confirm title, choose beneficiaries, and record the deed correctly with the county.
Next Steps
Bring your most recent deed or a property tax statement to your consultation so we can verify the legal description and ownership.
