Is it possible to have a Ladybird Deed for the Grantor and Grantee as Texas residents but the property to be in Florida? Or for the Grantor and property in Florida but the Grantee to be a resident of Texas? Can there be two Grantees with shared Grantee status?

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To sherri,

Ladybird deed has nothing to do with the mortgage. You can use it to transfer property from one person to another. As far as I know, ladybird deed is acceptable in states like Florida, Texas, Ohio, California, and Kansas. You can contact a New York based attorney and take his opinion in this matter.

To Hal,

If the property is located in Florida, then ladybird deed should be the one accepted in Florida. Two grantees can transfer property to someone else using a ladybird deed.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Sussane- Thanks for the reply. I actually missed the second part of my question. I was wondering of there can be two recipients that share the property when the Grantor dies? And is the distribution of value between the Grantees established in the deed?

Hi Hal,

There can be two recipients of the same property after the grantor dies. The grantor can transfer the property to two heirs before his/her death. The grantor can mention the distribution of values in the property deed.

Thanks

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, the ladybird deed is not considered valid in Arkansas. However, I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney based in Arkansas and take his opinion in this matter.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

It looks like they require 2 witness signatures, can the grantee or grantee's wife sign or does it have to be someone completely different.

Hi Darcey!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, any person who has attained the age of 18 years of age can sign as a witness. However, some states may have different rules concerning witnesses. So, you should check out your state laws in this regard. Also, it should be remembered that if a person is benefiting from anything in the concerned document, then he or she can't be a witness to that document.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi jcrowe,

As far as I know, a ladybird deed is applicable in Florida, Texas, Ohio, California, and Kansas. Thus, it's not applicable in New Hampshire.

If I have a LBD on my mothers home and she has outstanding debt to the IRS or the State of OK Revenue Service, can those agencies place a lien on the property while she is still living?

Hi V J Swain,

As far as I know, there has been no change concerning protection from nursing home regarding the home. However, for better information in this matter, get in touch with a real estate attorney of your state.

Hi Sha,

If the property taxes regarding the said property has not been paid off on time, then the IRS and the State Revenue Service can place a lien on that property.

Thanks,

Jerry

Due to the economy we (my sister, my wife and I) were going to move into our parents home. They are in a nursing facility; can we do this without penalty; can medicaid still take the home for payment?
