Can you put two people on a lady bird deed?

While you can name multiple beneficiaries, things can get messy quickly because the deed doesnt specify your wishes for the property. Your remaindermen will have to agree on what to do with it, which can lead to family disputes or even selling or mortgaging the property against your wishes.

What are the disadvantages of a lady bird deed?

Lady Bird Deeds, technically known as enhanced life estate deeds, are life estates for which the grantor retains much greater control over the property. If you are a property holder, you may use a Lady Bird Deed to transfer real property to a specific beneficiary while retaining certain rights to the property.
