[Carl Gay]

Affirms my general rule to advise clients against using the transfer on death deed as a substitute for a personal representative deed in a probate.

There is a two year sol, from death, for folks to sue a decedent’s estate; I assume that is what it’s about.

A title company just told me that a TODD can be contested by an heir not named as a beneficiary for up to two years after the Grantor's death.

 

RCW 64.80 says nothing like this. Does anyone know if a TODD can be disputed by an heir not named as beneficiary?
