Transfer on death deed is an arrangement where a home owner can leave their real estate to his or her heirs by using an inexpensive revocable transfer on death beneficiary deed. This allows the real estate title to be transferred to the beneficiaries once the homeowner dies. The transfer on death deed can be revoked and can be used to fight over bankruptcy of the home owner or benefactors.

Although the beneficiaries have rights to the property they cannot claim the ownership of the estate until the owner passes on. One can also refuse it through signing a disclaimer of interest forms where rights of creditors and debtors are protected by the deed. This is similar to the transfer on death statutes which enables other type of assets to be transferred to beneficiaries on the form once the owner has died. However real estate is the only asset that cannot be transferred through the title of transfer on death. Some countries do not have revocable deeds which makes the process a little bit difficult.
