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.
Thanks, but already done that.
