Estate Planning for Goshen County, Wyoming Property Owners

For most Goshen County homeowners, the house is what drags an estate into probate. A transfer-on-death deed or a living trust keeps it out—here is how to set up either one and record it locally.

Record a TOD deedWhere to recordLocal attorneys

For a Goshen County property owner, the biggest probate risk is the home itself. Real estate is what forces most families into the District Court. The two tools that keep a Goshen County home out of probate are a transfer-on-death deed recorded with the County Clerk, and a revocable living trust that holds title to the property.

Without a recorded beneficiary designation or a trust, Goshen County property passes through the District Court — even simple Wyoming probates run 4+ months and start with $160 in filing fees. Wyoming also lets owners name a transfer-on-death beneficiary on vehicle titles, which keeps cars out of the same process.

Record a Transfer-on-Death Deed in Goshen County

A transfer on death deed names a beneficiary who receives Goshen County property automatically at the owner's death, without probate. It is recorded with the County Clerk during the owner's lifetime and can be revoked at any time.
