§ 45-6-411. Revocation by instrument authorized; revocation by act not permitted

A. Subject to Subsection B of this section, an instrument is effective to revoke a

recorded transfer on death deed, or any part of it, only if the instrument: (1) is acknowledged by the transferor after the acknowledgment of the deed being revoked; (2) is recorded before the transferor's death in the public records in the office

of the county clerk for the county in which the deed is recorded; and (3) is: (a) a transfer on death deed that revokes the deed or part of the deed expressly or

by inconsistency; (b) an instrument of revocation that expressly revokes the deed or part of the deed;

or (c) an inter vivos deed that expressly revokes the transfer on death deed or part

of the deed. B. If a transfer on death deed is made by more than one transferor: (1) revocation by a transferor does not affect the deed as to the interest of another

transferor; and (2) a deed of joint owners is revoked only if it is revoked by all of the living joint

owners. C. After a transfer on death deed is recorded, it may not be revoked by a revocatory

act on the deed. D. This section does not limit the effect of an inter vivos transfer of the property.
