Great job with the enhanced Lady Bird Deed. If you also add your son’s name as POD (Pay On Death) to your bank accounts, he only has to present a certified death certificate to the Bank & they have to release the account to him. A Transfer on Death Deed can be used on investments & stocks. Some states have DMV forms to claim inheritance of any vehicles (often called ‘Affidavit of Intestacy for a Motor Vehicle’). Check for unclaimed property in all states you lived (they usually want a Probate order if your heir is trying to claim a decedent’s amount due.) Also do a short Will naming your son as Executor and sole heir, as a safety net.
