What is a Transfer on Death Designation Affidavit?

A Transfer on Death Designation Affidavit (also called a TOD Designation Affidavit or TODDA) is a legal document used in the State of Ohio that allows a property owner to name a beneficiary to automatically inherit their real estate upon the owner's death. It provides a means to bypass the long, costly probate process.

How to Use the TODDA

The Transfer on Death Designation Affidavit (also called a TOD Designation Affidavit) must be completed, signed and filed with the County Recorder's Office while the owner of the property is still alive.

Filing a TODDA will not affect your ownership rights or your ability to sell, mortgage, lease or otherwise deal with the property during your lifetime, and without the beneficiary's consent. You can also change or revoke the TODDA at any time.

What Happens After Your Death

When you pass away, the named beneficiary must file a Transfer on Death Confirmation  Affidavit along with a death certificate and original TOD Designation Affidavit to claim the property.

When the original property owner dies, the transfer will be completed by filing a death certificate and an affidavit signed by any person who knows all of the facts (this person can be anyone who knew the decedent well, including the beneficiary).

Joint and Survivorship Title

Ohio property owners who own their property under a "joint and survivorship" title can still use a TODDA, but all joint and survivorship owners must sign the form. When one of the owners dies, the property automatically passes to the surviving owner. But when the last surviving joint and survivorship owner dies, the property will then pass to the designated beneficiary.

TODDA Does Not Affect Taxes

A Transfer on Death Designation Affidavit does NOT eliminate any federal estate taxes that are payable by the estate.
