Transfer to Beneficiary -- TOD-110

Completing the Change of Property Rights from a Wisconsin Transfer on Death Deed

When a grantor/owner of real estate under a Wisconsin transfer on death deed dies, the named beneficiary or beneficiaries gain the rights to the property by function of law. Even though this transfer is, in theory, automatic, the best way to ensure accurate and up-to-date ownership records is to file a completed and notarized transfer on death to beneficiary form TOD-110 with the register of deeds for the county where the land is located. By recording this document, the new owner formalizes the transfer and provides public notice of the new status.

The service provided by the staff at Deeds.com is consistently excellent with prompt replies and smooth recording transactions. I am grateful to have their service available as driving to downtown Phoenix to record documents is always a daunting prospect. Their assistance in recording our firm's documents has been 100% accurate and a pleasure.

I am really impressed by this website. Not only is it affordable, but they give a detailed description, instructions, and an example to follow. Also there are additional forms included. And it's State, even county, specific. They do not require a subscription either as you can just order what you want. Thank you!

The NV Clark County deed upon death was perfect! Our county doesn't offer a template, but rather has a long list of rules and specifications where they expect you to make your own document. I didnt want to risk making an unacceptable form so I purchased the template from Deeds.com. It was easy to use and very thorough. Our deed upon death was notarized and filed with the county with no issue. Save yourselves the time and headache and get the template!

Disappointed. Description of Lien discharge form does not indicate it is specific to Mechanic liens. I'm inexperienced with liens & should have contacted someone before I ordered.

Reply from Staff

Sorry to hear that, it does look like our product description was lacking clarity. We have updated the description to better reflect the documents. We have also canceled your order and refunded the payment. Hope you have a great day.
