At Habitat for Humanity Omaha, we know how hard you work to purchase your home. With our Generational Wealth events, we make sure that your hard-earned home stays with your loved ones. We host a free event where we bring in volunteer attorneys to meet with Nebraska homeowners to get a transfer on death deed (TODD) in place. This deed is similar to a will, but only relates to your home—not your other assets. This deed also ensures that your loved ones do not have to go through the probate process after you pass, which normally takes a few years and thousands of dollars.
Prior to the event, homeowners register for a 30-minute timeslot to meet with a lawyer to get any questions about the deed answered, or to learn about how this deed relates to any other documents you already have in place. After meeting with your lawyer, the deed gets signed, dated and notarized. The next business day, Habitat employees register the deed with the Register of Deeds office downtown. Once they receive confirmation that the deeds are registered and filed, your original deed gets mailed back out to you (this process typically takes 2 business days, so please expect to see your deed in the mail within the week).
This event is completely free and is open to any homeowner in Nebraska, not just those in the Omaha-metro area. To register for this event, please go onto our website and follow the registration link. For additional information or questions, please reach out to either Caroline Nosbisch (402.884.7680 or cnosbisch@habitatomaha.org) or Mitch Strong (402.884.5754 or mstrong@habitatomaha.org).
