Re: personal real estate

Yes, as stated by others in their answers. This may or may not be the best estate planning. If the person is dying there may be other issues of the estate, avoiding probate entirely, etc. A beneficiary deed would be the better approach in this situation. If the person recovers, he has not given away the house. If not, it goes to the beneficiary with no probate.

We offer free, no obligation consultations for estate planning, and can sometimes make in-home or hospital consultations. 480.835.1500.
