⭕ The Lady Bird Deed — or the Enhanced Life Estate Deed — is one of Florida’s most effective estate planning tools.
🚨 Despite popular belief, it has little to do with Lady Bird Johnson.
Research suggests the term was coined by an attorney in the 1980s, not tied to any political figure.
What makes the Lady Bird Deed so valuable is its unique structure: it allows the grantor (usually a parent or spouse) to retain full control, possession, and benefits of their property during their lifetime, while automatically transferring ownership upon death — without probate.
⚠️ This setup protects against undue influence, keeps the homeowner in control, and simplifies asset transfer to heirs.
For seniors or anyone looking to avoid costly estate disputes, the Lady Bird Deed offers flexibility, protection, and peace of mind.
