SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Transfer on Death Real Property Act; created. Creates the Transfer on Death Real Property Act which permits an owner of real property to execute a transfer on death deed that names a beneficiary who takes ownership of the property upon the death of the owner. A transfer on death deed is nontestamentary and allows the owner of the property to avoid probate. Such deeds must be acknowledged before a notary public or other official and recorded in the office of the circuit court where the property is located. Such deeds may only be revoked by the owner by the recording of a subsequent transfer on death deed or the recording of a written notice of revocation.
