An Act relative to transfer on death real estate registration.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any General or special law, or rule or regulation to the contrary, owners of interests in real property in the commonwealth shall be allowed to execute and record a transfer on death deed to such real property.
