An enhanced life estate deed—commonly called a Lady Bird deed—allows property owners to name a beneficiary who will receive real estate at the owner's death, without the property passing through probate. The owner retains a life estate with full control during their lifetime, including the power to sell, mortgage, or convey the property without the beneficiary's consent.
How It Works
The grantor conveys a life estate to themselves while designating a remainder beneficiary. Unlike a traditional life estate deed, the "enhanced" version includes a reserved power of appointment, meaning the owner can change the beneficiary, revoke the deed entirely, or transfer the property at any time—no permission from the beneficiary required.
Key Features
The deed is designed to preserve homestead status (if claimed) along with associated property tax exemptions and protections during the owner's lifetime. Because the transfer does not take effect until death and the owner retains full control, no gift occurs for federal gift tax purposes at the time of recording.
Lady Bird Deed vs. Transfer on Death Deed
Texas recognizes both Lady Bird deeds and statutory transfer on death deeds (TODDs). Both accomplish similar goals, but they operate differently. A TODD is governed by statute (Texas Estates Code Chapter 114) and follows specific execution and recording requirements. A Lady Bird deed is a common-law instrument with a longer history of use. The right choice depends on the owner's circumstances; for complex situations, consult a local attorney.

It was a waste of time. I asked a question via your chat service. I received an acknowledgement that you received the question, that you might or might not answer it, and don't bother to reply to you email, as no one would read it. Confirming my belief that customer service is an oxymoron for most companies. (I doubt this review will ever appear on the site, or anyuhere else.)
Thank you!
