<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Well, this is good to know, as I was hoping to use the TOD deed for some smaller estates to avoid probate. Eliminating contingent interests, though, seems to limit the utility of the statute.<BR> <BR>Having said that-- and I'm not disagreeing with anything said on this list so far-- I don't see a specific prohibition against contingent interests in the statute (nor does it specifically allow them).<BR> <BR>The language in 64.80.100(1)(c) does state that concurrent interests will receive equal and undivided shares (thus, apparently not allowing disproportionate gifting among the beneficiaries). But there is language in subsection (d) that could be construed as opening the door for contingent beneficiaries. 64.80.100(1)(d) leads off with, "[i]f the transferor has identified two or more designated beneficiaries <em>to receive concurrent interests</em> in the property" [emphasis added]. If the statute is only intended to allow concurrent interests in multiple beneficiaries, why bother with that modifying language?<BR> <BR>Anyway, something to ponder as I head off...<BR> <BR><font face="Times New Roman">

to be absolutely certain it answers the current question, but Dwight Bickel, regional counsel for title companies across 6 northwestern states, indeed told us at the RPPT seminar last Friday that all interests given must be equal and concurrent, and if there
are multiple grantees, the share of a deceased grantee passes to the other grantees. He also said a grantee must be alive at the time of transfer, and the interest is not subject to right of representation or anti-lapse rules. I do not recall, however, his
specifically discussing specifically stated contingent interests – but I cannot see how contingent interests can be concurrent. Dwight also referred us to Al Falk’s summer 2014 article in the RPPT newsletter. Al worked hard on the legislation and was instrumental
in getting it passed, so I suspect his article covers the bases.</span></p>
