Passing Real Estate to Family
Arkansas allows a beneficiary deed, which names who receives real estate at the owner’s death while the owner keeps full control during life. It can keep property out of probate, and it works best as part of a complete estate plan.

What types of deeds are used in Arkansas?
Common deeds include warranty deeds, special warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and beneficiary deeds. Each gives a different level of protection, and the right one depends on the transaction.

Yes, before you sign. A purchase agreement sets the deadlines, contingencies, and costs for both sides, and it is far easier to change terms before signing than to fix a problem afterward.
