California Revocable Transfer on Death Deed Template

A California Revocable Transfer on Death Deed template with completion notes and the blank form. California homeowners who want a named beneficiary to receive residential property at death while keeping full control during life.

What's included

• Revocable Transfer on Death Deed (14 pages): the statutory TOD deed (Probate Code §5642) that names who receives California residential property at the owner's death, with the statutory Common Questions pages, the statutory revocation form (§5644), and the beneficiary's after-death notice and affidavit forms (§§5681, 5682). It may help the property pass outside probate.

Each document starts on its own page with plain-English completion notes, followed by the blank form. Where California law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.
