When my Dad passed away, we had to get a lawyer involved to take his name off the title to the house and make my mother the soul owner. My sister and I were added to the title TOD (transfer on death). We had no interest in the property until she died. When we sold the house, there was no question the house had become ours when my Mother died and we signed the title over to the buyer. The value of the house to use was what it was worth on the day she passed away. She had some stock and we were on that TOD also. Our base value was what the stock sold for at close on the day of her death. You can use TOD on any title - houses, cars, stock. The names listed after TOD have no ownership until the primary owner dies. No lawyer or courts needed.
