[WSBAPT] TODDs and sales post-death

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

In my recent experience - NO - the notice to creditors for the probate
estate DID NOT fix that problem. They insisted on a Deed of PR.....the end
result to make them happy was literally having the beneficiaries of the
house send $90k to my office to hold to resolve any potential creditor
claims.

I strongly advise against using a TODD if there is an potential sale within
2 years of death.
