Question: I am a widow who owns my home in Chandler free
and clear. I am wondering if I can name more than one child in
a Beneficiary Deed to take title to my home after I die? I have
two sons and I would like them both to be on the title.
Answer: You can name both sons as grantees on the Beneficiary
Deed. If you want each of your sons to have an interest in the
home after you die, which your sons can pass on to their own heirs,
you should name your sons as 50-50 tenants in common. If you want
the surviving son to own the home 100% after the first son dies,
then you should designate ownership as joint tenants with right
of survivorship.
