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.
Quit claim deeds, also called a non-warranty deeds, are sometimes used to transfer property as well as clear titles. Sellers tend to be more willing to transfer property through quit claim deeds. However, quit claim deeds offer no warranty that the grantor owns or has any rights to transfer the property.
Using a quitclaim deed could trigger unwanted tax consequences, such as gift taxes or capital gains taxes. Additionally, a quitclaim deed can introduce confusion about who truly owns a property after a transfer, which could lead to disputes later.
Control and Retention: Ladybird Deeds allow the original owner to retain rights during their lifetime, whereas Quitclaim Deeds transfer ownership immediately.
