North Carolina Long-Term Care Planning Lawyer Explains Enhanced Life Estates (a.k.a. Ladybird Deeds) vs. Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts. Enhanced Life Estate Deeds (a.k.a., ladybird deeds) and Medicaid Asset Protection Trust are both tools that may be used for protecting real estate from future Medicaid claims.
An Enhanced Life Estate Deed works by allowing the original owner of the property, known as the life tenant, to maintain full ownership of their property throughout their lifetime. This includes giving them the ability to both mortgage and sell the property without the beneficiary having a say over the decision.
Generally, the most efficient way for the transfer to happen is at death via a trust. The deed is titled within your family trust or transfer on death deed. The trust transfers the assets to the children at passing. Skips probate.
One of the more accessible and efficient tools available to those looking to bypass probate is a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed. A transfer-on-death deed is a legal document that specifies which beneficiary will inherit the deceaseds real estate after their passing.
An example of an Enhanced Life Estate Deed is when a parent leaves their property to their child within this deed, allowing them to skip probate court and have ownership transferred to their name after the death of their parent.
