COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE USE OF THIS FORM                      
   How do I use this form to revoke a Transfer on Death (TOD) deed?    
Complete this form. Have it acknowledged before a notary public or
 other individual authorized to take acknowledgments. Record the form
 in the public records in the office of the recorder in each recording 
district where the property is located. The form must be acknowledged  
and recorded before your death or it has no effect.                    
   How do I find the 'legal description' of the property?  This        
information may be on the TOD deed. It may also be available in the    
office of the recorder in the recording district where the property is 
located. If you are not absolutely sure, consult a lawyer.             
   How do I 'record' the form?  Take the completed and acknowledged
 form to the office of the recorder in the recording district where the
property is located. Follow the instructions given by the recorder to  
make the form part of the official property records. If the property is
located in more than one recording district, you should record the form
in each of those recording districts.                                  
   I am being pressured to complete this form. What should I do?  Do
 not complete this form under pressure. Seek help from a trusted family
member, friend, or lawyer.                                             
   I have other questions about this form. What should I do?  This form
is designed to fit some but not all situations. If you have other      
questions, consult a lawyer.
