Neither survivorship form is presumed

The Wyoming Supreme Court has held that joint tenancy needs clear language to be created — and, in later case law, that tenancy by the entirety is also disfavored and not typically presumed. But an older case creates some genuine tension worth understanding. See our full breakdown of Wyoming joint tenancy rules.

A TOD deed with its own Medicaid-clearance step

Wyoming's Nontestamentary Transfer of Real Property on Death Act, in effect since 2013, requires a specific certificate confirming Medicaid lien status as part of clearing title. See our full guide to the Wyoming TOD deed.

Bank accounts follow the standard framework

Wyoming follows the standard joint-account and P.O.D. framework most states use for bank accounts. See our guide to Wyoming beneficiary and P.O.D. accounts.

Where this feeds into other Wyoming calculators

The probate-estate total from this tool is the starting point for Wyoming's probate cost and executor fee calculators, and for checking Wyoming's small estate procedures. Wyoming has no state estate or inheritance tax, so this total doesn't feed into a separate state tax calculation.

Wyoming estate value — frequently asked questions

Does jointly owned real estate skip probate in Wyoming?

Yes, if the deed clearly creates joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety. The Wyoming Supreme Court has held neither form is presumed without clear language showing an intent to create survivorship.

Does Wyoming presume tenancy by the entirety for married couples?

Generally no - it is disfavored and not typically presumed. An older Wyoming Supreme Court case held a deed specifically naming grantees as husband and wife does create it, creating some tension with later case law that hasn't been fully resolved.

Does Wyoming have a transfer on death deed?

Yes. Wyoming's Nontestamentary Transfer of Real Property on Death Act has been in effect since July 1, 2013, though it's a Wyoming-specific statute rather than an adoption of the national uniform model.

Does clearing title on a Wyoming TOD deed require confirming Medicaid status?

Yes. Proof of death and transfer must include a certificate of clearance from the Wyoming Department of Health, confirming whether a Medicaid lien is being asserted against the property.

Does a joint bank account automatically pass to the survivor in Wyoming?

Generally yes, when the account is set up with survivorship language, following the standard multi-party account framework most states use.
