Do I Need a Transfer on Death Deed in Idaho?
Answer a few questions about the property to see whether a transfer on death deed applies for avoiding probate on real estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Idaho does not currently allow transfer on death deeds. Idaho has not adopted the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act or any TOD deed statute for real property.
Because Idaho does not allow TOD deeds, alternatives for avoiding probate on real property include: Revocable living trust, Joint tenancy with right of survivorship, Community property with right of survivorship (married couples). Compare your options with the trust vs. will comparison.
Without a TOD deed option, real property in Idaho typically passes through probate unless held in a trust or with joint tenancy. Use the Idaho probate calculator to estimate what that would cost.
