Keep Your Home in the Family, Not the Courts
A Texas Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) lets you pass your property to your children or loved ones automatically upon death, completely outside of probate, while you maintain 100% unilateral lifetime control.
The "Secret Weapon" of Texas Estate Planning
100% Control: Sell, refinance, lease, or change your mind anytime without beneficiaries' permission.
MERP Exemption: Safeguards your family home from state Medicaid estate recovery claims.
Tax Benefits: Heirs receive a "stepped-up basis" to market value, avoiding capital gains taxes.

How a Lady Bird Deed Protects You
An Enhanced Life Estate Deed resolves the conflict of wanting to transfer property to your heirs without losing the right to sell or refinance during your lifetime.
Probate Avoidance
Texas probate is slow and expensive. A Lady Bird Deed bypasses court probate completely, shifting title to your chosen heirs immediately upon your passing.
Medicaid Recovery (MERP) Shield
In Texas, Medicaid recovery only operates against probate assets. Because a Lady Bird Deed transfers property outside of probate, the home is 100% safe from Medicaid MERP liens.
Homestead Exemptions Protected
Unlike gifting your home or putting it into certain irrevocable trusts, a Lady Bird Deed maintains your Texas homestead exemption and over-65 school tax freezes 100%.
