Questions answered? Let's get started!

This enhanced life estate deed is a document that transfers ownership of real property, while reserving full access to the property for the duration of the grantor's life. It allows the original owner (grantor) to remain on the premises with the rights to use or dispose of it at will, with no penalty for waste. The grantor may even reconvey the property to someone else without the grantee's knowledge. The grantee under the deed reserving a life estate for the grantor is not entitled to possession of the property until the grantor dies.

When the enhanced life estate is applied to a quitclaim deed, the transfer of ownership is completed upon the death of the life tenant, but there are no warranties of title.

Could not give me any deed history prior to 1986, when our company bought the property, so this was a bust.

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.

Requires you work in Adobe Acrobat. Too difficult to edit, add and erase for an attorney.

Sorry to hear of your struggle. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

The process went smoothly and gave me what I needed. As an improvement, I would recommend that deeds.com sends an email when there is a new message in the portal. I didn't get any updates and had to log in to track progress each time.

Received the documents, but the explanation and process is not as straightforward as I would have liked. The Instructions and Sample document were not always easy to follow. I may just have a real estate lawyer perform the task.
