About this form
The Transfer on Death Deed, also known as a TOD or Beneficiary Deed, is a legal document used in Nebraska to transfer the title of a parcel of land to two identified beneficiaries upon the owner's death. This deed allows the owner, referred to as the Transferor, to specify the beneficiaries who will receive the property without the need for probate.
