Texas Transfer on Death Deed Template

A Texas Transfer on Death Deed template with completion notes and the blank form. Texas property owners who want named beneficiaries to receive real property at death while keeping full control during life.

What's included

• Transfer on Death Deed (9 pages): a deed under the Texas Real Property Transfer on Death Act (Estates Code chapter 114) that names who receives Texas real property at the owner's death, with an instrument of revocation (§114.057) and an Exhibit A. 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 Texas law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.
