A ladybird deed is a type of life estate, with added features. In a normal life estate, the holder of the life estate interest may not sell, mortgage or encumber the property, absent permission from the remainderman. The life estate owner only has occupancy and use rights for the duration of the person’s life.
A ladybird deed (also called an enhanced life estate) allows the enhanced life estate owner to sell, mortgage or encumber the property. If the enhanced life estate owner sells the entire property, the remainderman’s interest is extinguished.
