Insurance and transfer on death deeds.
Summary
Extends insurance coverage on property transferred by a transfer on death transfer following the death of the insured after December 31, 2024, for property and casualty insurance and liability insurance other than title insurance and certain insurance relating to bonds and mortgages. Allows certain warning language to be included in a transfer on death deed executed after December 31, 2024. Provides that a failure by a beneficiary to file an affidavit in the office of the recorder of the county in which the real property is located or a delay by the county recorder in recording the affidavit does not affect the validity of the transfer on death transfer to the beneficiary. Provides that until the affidavit is recorded, the transfer on death beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the transfer on death deed and the estate of the deceased owner are jointly and severally liable for property taxes assessed with respect to the real property for assessment years beginning with the assessment year in which the owner's death occurs. Provides that if a transferee obtains a property and casualty insurance policy or liability insurance policy insuring the real or personal property the transferee acquired or received through a transfer, the transferee is not an insured on the insurance policy of the transferor once the transferee's property and casualty insurance policy or liability insurance policy becomes effective.
