Avoiding Probate A Lady Bird Deed helps your property automatically transfer to your beneficiaries without going through probate. For example, if Peter passes away, Paul and Mary would automatically inherit the home, without waiting months for probate to finish.
Choosing between a Lady Bird Deed and a Transfer on Death Deed depends on your personal situation. If maintaining full control over the property during your lifetime is a priority, and you want the flexibility to make changes without re-recording a deed, a Lady Bird Deed may be the better choice.
A Lady Bird Deed only addresses one asset: real estate. A trust can include your home and your bank accounts, vehicles, investments, and personal belongings. Its a true all-in-one solution. A Lady Bird Deed doesnt help if you become unable to manage your affairs.
