Transfer on Death (TOD) accounts offer a way to transfer assets directly to beneficiaries without the need for probate, making the process quick and private. They are simple to set up and involve filling out a form from your financial institution, making them a cost-effective estate planning tool. However, TOD accounts come with potential drawbacks. They might not cover final expenses if there aren’t enough assets left in the estate. They also lack the ability to name contingent beneficiaries, which means if the primary beneficiary dies first, the assets could still go through probate. Additionally, TOD accounts do not protect beneficiaries from creditors and can lead to unintended disinheritance in joint accounts. Consulting with an estate planning professional is recommended to determine if TOD accounts are suitable for your needs. Reach out to schedule a consultation with one of our expert attorneys at The Law Office of Barry E.
