So my dad is getting married again. He has a pre-existing property before the marriage, and planning to do a transfer on death (TOD) deed to put the property in my name as the beneficiary.

However, would the new marriage automatically VOID the TOD deed, and/or turn the pre-existing property into community property or joint ownership between my dad and his new wife?

What is the best method?
