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.

Not user friendly, and not an Adobe fan. The first page of Quitclaim Deed form cuts off the Parcel Identification line on the bottom. Also quite a few forms showed up to be downloaded , after I paid, so I was unsure if all the forms were part of the quitclaim package. I have adobe but was unable to locate the forms in adobe on my computer after I downloaded them. Just wanted to print out one quitclaim deed form, which would have taken less that 3 minutes. instead it took 97 minutes. Thank you, though, for having the form there.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
