Step 4 of 5

Who receives the property

The people who receive the property when the last of you dies. Until then they have no say: you can sell it, mortgage it or change this deed without them.

Beneficiaries

Full legal names. Leave Share empty to split equally. Add up to 8.

If a beneficiary dies before you, their share goes to

Their children and grandchildren (per stirpes) The other beneficiaries (or your backups, if none of them survive you)

Per stirpes: the share passes down that person's family line, split equally among their children, with a child who has died replaced by their own children. If a beneficiary who died left no descendants, their share goes to the other beneficiaries.

Do you want to name someone in case none of them survive you?

Yes No

Without one, if every beneficiary and their line dies before you, the property goes through probate as part of your estate.

If no one named in this deed survives you, the property goes to

My heirs under my state's law, outside probate My estate, through probate

Your heirs are the relatives your state's law names when someone dies without a will, such as children, then parents, then brothers and sisters. Naming them here keeps the property out of probate even then. Choose your estate if you'd rather your will decide.
