Transferring Title Deeds To Heirs

Your will should specify your heirs, or the people who will receive assets and property after you have passed away. This includes any real property you own, such as your house. However, to pass on your property, you must transfer the property title.

You can do this in a few ways, though the simplest is a quitclaim deed. This allows you to give up the deed to your property without a process for proving ownership. When transferring titles between trusted family members or friends, proving ownership is usually unnecessary.

Alternatively, you can create a Joint Tenant with Right of Survivorship (JTWROS) account. This gives multiple people ownership of the assets in the account, which are automatically granted to one of the tenants when the other(s) passes away.
