Texas-statutory document
Transfer on Death Deed — Married Couple
Tex. Est. Code Ch. 114
One Texas TODD for one property owned by spouses, attorney-reviewed, with signing and recording instructions.
Attorney review and preparation of one Transfer on Death Deed for one eligible Texas property owned by the spouses, naming both spouses as transferors where appropriate. A spouse is never added as an owner or transferor just because you are married — the attorney confirms ownership and the required signers against the recorded deed first.
What's included
- One Transfer on Death Deed for one eligible Texas property owned by the spouses
- Attorney review of ownership, suitability, and required signers before delivery
- Both spouses named as transferors where appropriate
- Signing and county-clerk recording instructions
Spouses who own one Texas home together on clear title.
Separate-property disputes, title in only one spouse's name with questions about the other's interest, multiple properties, or out-of-state real estate.
Notarization fees and the county-clerk recording fee are additional and paid directly by you. If ownership requires separate deeds, additional properties, title correction, or expanded legal work, we provide a separate quote before performing that work.
