creates a whole new gray area. In my view, once one transfer occurs (say on the death of the 1<sup>st</sup> grantor), it would terminate all subsequent transfers that the deed attempted to make, but then again maybe not. However, it is called a transfer
on death deed, not transfer on <u>deaths</u> deed. If they really want to cover all these scenarios to avoid disinheriting certain kids or grandkids, then I recommend a revocable living trust that the property be placed into.
