You seek legal advice to get it done properly. You don't mention whether you are talking about personal or real property, each may be handled differently. Also, you could use a trust vehicle to include all such assets. The method to be used depends on the assets and value of those assets.

IF you have a home and you want to transfer it upon your death, then have the attorney prepare a "Lady Bird" deed. The difference between this and the Quit-claim is that under the Lady Bird, the grantor remains the owner of the property and can even sell without the permission of the beneficiary. Under a quit-claim deed, both parties must agree to a sale and the quit-claim puts the other person as immediate owner of the property. If I can be of help, contact my office.
