What Is A Florida Enhanced Life Estate “Lady Bird” Deed?

A Ladybird Deed A.K.A. Enhanced Life Estate Deed essentially allows you to avoid probate and pass your property to your inheritants while allowing you to have full title rights during your life.  It is a good & fast way to avoid probate in the state of Florida.

Some states use what is known as a Transfer on Death Deeds (T.O.D.D.), this essential achieves the same goal.

Once the owner passes, the property is transferred automatically to new owners without going into probate. Lady-Bird Deeds are only available in a few states, like Michigan, Vermont, West Virginia, and…Florida fortunately is one of them!

A lady bird deed can be utilized in Florida for people on Spend-down Medicaid as in Florida homestead residence can’t be used as collateral.

Additional Features that make the ladybird a must are:

• ✅  The PROPERTY OWNER remains in control while alive.
•  ✅ Seamless of title/property upon death. The beneficiaries don’t need to sign anything
• ✅ As with all “Deeds of Transport’ (Warranty, Quit-Claim, Special Warranty) two witnesses are required to sign the document.

These will also require the services of a Notary Public, who can also serve as 1 witness in Florida.
