The document discusses how to avoid probate in Texas using a Transfer on Death Deed (TODD). It provides an overview of wills and probate, noting that a will outlines instructions for distributing assets, while probate is the legal process to do so. A TODD allows real property to transfer directly to a beneficiary upon death without probating the will. It has advantages like allowing changes without amending the will. However, a TODD only applies to real property and does not protect against creditors or liens. It must be in writing, name beneficiaries, and be properly filed.
