In California, property transfer at death must be done through a deed. When the property owner dies, the deed must be recorded with the county recorder's office to transfer the property title to the beneficiary. The deed must include the names of the deceased and the beneficiary and a legal description of the property.
There are various components to the titling of assets: One is using a transfer on death (TOD) designation, generally used for investment accounts, or a payable on death (POD) designation, used for bank accounts, which act as beneficiary designations, stating to whom account assets are to pass when the owner dies.

Only a properly executed and recorded deed gives you title to a property in Florida, but not all deeds do this in the same way. A Quitclaim Deed is a very particular type of deed that should only be used with the expertise and advice of an attorney.
A person can file a quitclaim deed by (1) entering the relevant information on a quitclaim deed form, (2) signing the deed with two witnesses and a notary, and (3) recording the deed at the county comptroller's office. In Florida, quitclaim deeds must have the name and address of both the grantor and the grantee.
