Basit açıklama

A first plan should connect the deed, mortgage, beneficiary-designated accounts, incapacity authority, and a practical administration path instead of assuming the home alone determines who inherits.

A will does not keep the home out of probate
A will does not avoid probate for a home titled only in the owner's name.
Transfer-on-death deeds are not universal
A transfer-on-death deed is not available or appropriate everywhere.
Authority during life matters too
Financial and health authority matter during life, not only at death.
