A Massachusetts Transfer on Death Deed is a formal document that establishes the property transfer that will enter into force after the death of the owner: the grantee will obtain the ownership once the grantor passes away without probate. Whether you want to be sure your spouse keeps your joint property or you wish to make your friend the heir to your possessions, this Beneficiary Deed will safeguard your will before and after your passing. Massachusetts General Laws (Chapters 183 and 184) list provisions the grantor must follow to formalize the transfer: finalize the deed by signing it before a notary public or a justice of the peace and file it with the local registry of deeds.
