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.

Your Quitdeed form was easy to understand with the guidelines provided and an example of an already completed form to see how you should complete your form. The price is reasonable for a do it yourself.
Thank you, Deabra. We’re glad the form and examples made the process clear and that you found it a good value for a do-it-yourself option.

In California, the recorder charges a $75 fee for EVERY PAGE of any document related to real estate, with a $225 maximum. So the easement deed this company made is 3 pages, when it could easily have fit in 2 pages (including the notary page). So they just cost me an extra $75. Do better!
Thanks for the feedback. One correction, because it matters for anyone reading this: California's $75 fee (SB 2, Government Code 27388.1) is charged per document title, not per page, and the $225 cap applies to transactions with multiple documents or titles. Page count only affects the base recording fee, which is $3 per additional page. A three-page easement deed carries the same $75 as a two-page one would. Recording fees are set and collected by the county, not by Deeds.com, and the county recorder's published fee schedule is the place to confirm what you were charged.

Forms do not allow enough space for fields and cutoff. Need to expand the fields to allow for more writing. I ended up re-typing to be able to include full property description. Would be nice if available in Word format rather than only PDF format.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
