After the owner’s death: The beneficiary must provide a certified death certificate, a completed application for title, the current title or bill of sale, a current property tax receipt, and applicable fees.

Inspired by FromValeriesKitchen.com
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces • 1 tsp Lawry’s Seasoned Salt • Fresh ground pepper, to taste • 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp barbecue sauce, divided • 1/2 cup marinara sauce • 1 loaf French bread
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• A TOD designation does not override any loan or lien attached to the property.
• This works if you want a specific person or people to receive the property. However, if you would prefer for it to be sold and the proceeds divided according to your trust document upon your passing, adding the vehicle to your trust may be the better option.

By completing a simple form with the DMV or DNR, you can ensure your property transfers smoothly to your chosen beneficiary after your passing.
