Questions answered? Let's get started!
A warranty deed with enhanced life estate is sometimes referred to as a ladybird deed. When correctly executed and recorded, this deed provides the structure for a non-testamentary transfer of real property. Leaving the real property out of a will allows the transfer to occur without the need for probate.
The grantor conveys the real estate back to herself, but reserves a life estate with full power to sell, mortgage, change the beneficiary, or otherwise use the property with no penalty for waste or obligation to inform the beneficiary. When the grantor dies, the property rights, if still available, transfer to the default beneficiary.
To finalize the conveyance, the beneficiary must file a property transfer affidavit within 45 days of the grantor's death. Submit the form to the assessor's office located in the same county as the real estate.
(Michigan WD with Enhanced Life Estate Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
Important: Your property must be located in Kalamazoo County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

Deeds.com made this process of electronic document recording so easy! The communication was quick, friendly, helpful and efficient. I am out of state and have administrative items to handle for my father who has Alzheimer's. Deeds.com is a great service. I highly recommend them, and will use them again when the time comes.
Thank you!

Bought a transfer on death deed form and it worked great. Easy to fill out and record with the County. Got some helpful information from the county recorders office before filling out the form. I found out that I could use one deed for 2 properties. Saved me money not having to pay fees for 2 deeds.
We are delighted to have been of service. Thank you for the positive review!

status was canceled. said i needed to record directly. would be 5 stars if it worked.
Sorry for the inconvenience Roger. Unfortunately, not all jurisdictions in the country have progressed to the point of being able to accept all document types for e-recording.
