The Sky Report April 2017
Dear Friend,
This is the newsletter of Clear Sky Law Group (formerly Law Offices of Eric D. Morton). This month we have an article regarding the transfer of death deed (TODD) that transfers property on the death of the owner. We  published on article on TODDs last year. We have found a great deal of interest in TODDs and we have discovered that TODDs are not suitable in many circumstances.  This article spells out how a TODD is lawfully executed and recorded, and its many limitations.  We have a new attorney and new office.
If you have any ideas for articles, please contact us.

Before you execute a TODD, consider these limitations to avoid creating unintended consequences.
