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 like the basics. The one thing I would recommend changing would be, something that tells me I have actually have submitted my package, or that I can leave at any time without needing to click on a "Submit" button.

The technology and service was excellent. The content was too limited. I was seeking to find out about 61b deeds on the property and that was not provided.

I purchased a Warranty Deed "package" on Friday and found that the Main download was a working document, but the secondary document (which is required) was not. In other words, I was able to use the fill-in feature on the main document, but not on the second document. I used the portal on the website to report my issue the same day. That was Friday. This is Wednesday. I have not heard a word from them and I have to use my documents in 2 days. I will probably have to resort to pen and ink for that document, but I have already tried filling it out twice and have to keep reprinting and starting over. You can't white out or cross out. I would really prefer to have the complete service that I paid for.

Thank you for your feedback. As is noted on the site, supplemental forms are provided as a courtesy with your order. They are not our forms, we did not create them. They are created and provided by the jurisdiction/agency that requires them. Have a wonderful day.

Disappointed on most recent order. Format did not permit changing the "boilerplate" language to change "grantor" to "grantors". In so restricting, could not use pre-printed form to make a joint party conveyance.

Sorry to hear of your disappointment. We've canceled your order and payment for the warranty deed document. Have a wonderful day.
