| My Parents live in Florida 65 and 71,and my sister is helping them prepare a ladybird deed. I find out now that my sister will be the only sibbling listed on this deed. Should'nt all 3 Sibblings be listed on this LadyBird Deed? |

Hello Lesia,
It actually depends on your parents. If they are willing to list all three siblings on the deed, then that should be done. |

| What about the IRS treatment using the analogy of a revocable trust. For estate tax purposes, a revocable trust (I think) does not remove the asset from the giver's estate because the giver retained control over the asset. Is this a concern for a Lady Bird Deed? |

Hello Joe,
As far as I know, the property still remains in the owner's estate for the estate tax purposes even after it has been transferred with a ladybird deed. |

| my husband was deeded acreage that includes realestate and his mother house, she found out that she would lose the homestead on her taxes if she left it in his name. The lawyer corrected the deed with a correction warranty laby bird deed, this does not specify house and 1 acre only. Does it include all 70 acres and other improvements. |

Hi Kimjw,
Welcome to our community forums.
As per the laws on homestead, when a property is transferred to someone, the current owner qualifying for homestead protection may lose it on account of change in the title.
Now if the lawyer has corrected the deed by excluding the house from it, then your husband won't get the house. Rather he will get other properties as stated on the deed. You need to check out the property description part of the deed.
Since there has been a change done on the deed, therefore the deed should be filed again to reflect the change.

I did not get this part of your query. What exactly are you trying to say here? What does this 70 acre include?

|
|
| My Dad is in the nursing home in TX. We have gotten a Ladybird deed for his (only possession) his home. When applying for Medicaid - his application will be denied UNLESS we sign the paperwork acknowledging that "the state of Texas has the right to ask for some money back from your estate after you die." It is my understanding that the state cannot file against the estate if there is ladybird deed. Is this true? Are the house and properties protected from Medicaid Recovery? |

Hi Jacksonville,
Welcome to the forum.
I think you cannot sell the house as your mother has a Ladybird deed. But your mother can sell the house. She possesses all the rights of the house until her death.
After her death the grantor that means you will own the house. Ladybird deed is mainly used to avoid the costly and time consuming probate process.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry |

Hi Sandy,
Welcome to the forum.
As you have signed the agreement, the state can ask the money back in the form of Medicaid Recovery. You have the Ladybird deed. So you can avoid the probate but you are still entitled to pay off the money for Medicaid Recovery.
Best of luck,
Larry |

| You sister can use a Ladybird deed. Thus she will get the property after her husband's death and also her husband can get the Medicaid benifits. but as everyone suggests, attorney's advise should be taken before using the Ladybird deed. |
