Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Michigan lady bird quitclaim deed is based on the statutes regarding power of appointment. According to Michigan Land Standards 6th Edition, Standard 9.3

Michigan Land Title Standards Act 9.3 reads: The holder of a life estate, coupled with an absolute power to dispose of the fee estate by inter vivos conveyance, can convey a fee simple estate during the lifetime of the holder. If the power is not exercised, the gift becomes effective.

In Michigan, a Lady Bird Deed Quitclaim Deed is a type of Quitclaim Deed that allows the Grantor, to transfer their property upon their death to a named beneficiary. This is a great tool for estate planning and helps to avoid probate court. These courts deal with someone's assets and belongings after they pass away. Going through this court is typically expensive and time-consuming.

As long as the Grantor lives, he/she/they are free to sell the property to someone else, give the property away as a gift, encumber the property with mortgages and liens, rent the property to tenants, and even execute a brand-new ladybird deed defeating Grantee's contingent interest in favor of someone else. Grantee(s) does/do not have any tangible rights to the property until Grantor's death when the contingency becomes vested.

Consult an estate planning attorney with questions including ladybird deeds.

I found your instructions and sample for completing a quit-claim deed in Arizona to be simple and easy to follow with one exception. The website to use in order to determine the code for the reason for exemption of fees was incorrect, as a result of which I had to contact the County Recorder to obtain that information.

The product is as advertised. I was unable to navigate this process because It is complicated and I am concerned about doing it wrong. The law is written in stupid language to make it difficult for all and keep the layering business going. Its a solid form but did not work for me. Thanks Chris
