Since 1995, twelve states have passed new laws allowing you an easier "nonprobate" method for leaving real estate to your heirs. These states are: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin.
This new method of leaving real estate to your heirs involves signing a new deed for your house. Depending on your state, this new deed is called either a "Transfer on Death Deed" or a "Beneficiary Deed". You sign the deed before a notary public, have it recorded at the court house in the county where your property is located, and then upon your death, the deed automatically transfers your real estate to whomever you named as beneficiary in the deed. This automatic transfer prevents the house or land from having to go through the probate process, thus avoiding the delay and cost of probate.
