Estate Planning for Natrona County, Wyoming Property Owners

For most Natrona 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 Natrona 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 Natrona 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.

Skipping this planning step means the District Court decides who receives the property: a simple Wyoming probate takes 4+ months and opens with $160 in court 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 Natrona County

A transfer on death deed names a beneficiary who receives Natrona 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.
