Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Lady Bird deed, also called an enhanced life estate deed or reservation of a life estate with a general power of appointment, is a useful estate planning tool. When executed, the grantor conveys a life estate in real property to himself, with the remainder conveyed to the beneficiary of his choice, thereby avoiding the probate process. This type of deed enables the grantor to preserve homestead status (if claimed) as well as any deductions, protections, and tax exemptions associated with the real estate during his lifetime. In addition, he retains absolute control over the property, allowing for the option to change the beneficiary or even sell, convey, or mortgage the property before the transfer of ownership goes into effect upon the grantor's death.

Finding what I needed was easy. The payment process was easy. Using what I found was easy. Easy-peasy and GREAT results. Professional and succinct all for the price of a steak dinner. I'll be back to DEEDS.COM when I need any paperwork/forms related to deeds.

Very quick, easy and readily available forms. No wait, no advertisements, no pressure to purchase MORE. I expected to only get part of the information I needed, and for there to be a hidden cost to get the complete package, but surprisingly, I got immediate access to all the forms I ordered, AND THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL HIDDEN COSTS! How refreshing!

I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.

Reply from Staff

I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with the website's deed/title searching feature. It can be frustrating when a feature you were hoping to use isn't available.
We do hope that you found what you were looking for elsewhere.

Very easy & efficient to use! I would have had to drive an hour to the county office. So glad this worked instead! You should advertise more....if I hadn't done research I would never have known about your service.

Great and fast service. Would have been grate to have seen a little more detail or a pre-filled sample in the fields. Had a little confussion in some of the lines to fill out since the guide only explains a few of the lines not all of them. Otherwise, is really great to have this service with low cost. 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.
