Q: My question is about a TOD and a verbal contract
If a person was promised TOD of a property, has paid all the Bill's of the person who owns property in exchange for TOD. Has made improvements upon the property, sunk all their money into property. Then owner of property decides to put the TOD into a groups name instead of promised party. Is there anything that person can do before owners death or after?

A: Yes, there is a legal remedy for breach of contract IF you have sufficient evidence to prove your case, preferably in writing. If not, this is a hard lesson about the importance of hiring an attorney to document any kind of agreement regarding real estate. That would have been WAY cheaper than litigation will be now.
