DEED:		Before my death, I have the right to revoke this deed.		Under the Uniform
Real Property Transfer on Death Act, an instrument is effective to revoke a
recorded transfer on death deed, or any part of it, only if the instrument:

1. Is one of the following:
			a. A transfer on death deed that revokes the transfer on death deed or part
of the transfer on death deed expressly;			b. A transfer on death deed that
names a designated beneficiary that is inconsistent with the designated
beneficiary in a prior transfer on death deed;			c. An instrument of revocation
that expressly revokes the transfer on death deed or part of the transfer on
death deed; or			d. An inter vivos deed that conveys real property to another so
the transferor is no longer the owner at the time of the transferor&#8217;s
death.

2. Is acknowledged by the transferor after the acknowledgment of the transfer on
death deed being revoked and recorded before the transferor&#8217;s death in the
land records of the clerk&#8217;s office of the circuit court where the deed is
recorded.
			After this transfer on death deed is recorded, it can be revoked only by an
effective revocatory instrument recorded prior to the death of the transferor
and may not be revoked by a revocatory act taken against or on the original or a
copy of the recorded transfer on death deed.			The execution and recordation of
this transfer on death deed does not limit the effect of an inter vivos transfer
of the property.			At my death, a beneficiary takes the property subject to all
conveyances, encumbrances, assignments, contracts, mortgages, liens, and other
interests to which the property is subject at my death.			Witness the following
signature and seals:			________________________________________
