Affidavit of Death for Transfer on Death Deed Guided Form
TexasLawHelp.org
Free guided interview and public instructions for preparing an affidavit that documents a transfer-on-death deed owner's death so a named beneficiary can establish title.
How to get help
Use the guided interview, verify the property's legal description and deed-recording details, print the resulting affidavit, sign before a notary, and record the affidavit with the county clerk in the county where the property is located. Keep a recorded copy and obtain acceptable proof of death when required for later title activity.
Who this service helps
A named beneficiary may use the form after the property owner who executed a valid transfer on death deed has died; beneficiary priority and the 120-hour survival rule can affect who receives the property.
Where this service is available
