What Is a Lady Bird Deed?

A Flexible, Probate-Free Way to Transfer Property in Florida

A Lady Bird Deed, also known as an Enhanced Life Estate Deed, is a powerful estate planning tool that allows you to transfer real estate to your chosen beneficiaries—without giving up control during your lifetime.

With a Lady Bird Deed, you retain full ownership of your property. You can sell, lease, refinance, or mortgage it at any time without needing anyone’s permission. Upon your passing, the property automatically transfers to your designated beneficiaries without going through probate, saving time, money, and legal hassle.

Why Choose a Lady Bird Deed?

A Lady Bird Deed offers several key benefits:

  • Avoids probate for real estate transfers

  • Maintains your full control and ownership during life

  • Provides privacy and reduces legal costs for your heirs

  • May offer protection against Medicaid estate recovery, depending on your circumstances

It’s a smart, flexible solution for property owners who want to protect their assets while simplifying the process for their loved ones.
