    Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed)
    Transfer your Texas home to your heirs at death while retaining full ownership rights during your lifetime โ€” including the right to sell, mortgage, or change the deed without beneficiary consent. Avoids probate and protects your home from Medicaid estate recovery.
Why 60% of Texans have no will โ€” and why you shouldn't be one of them: Without a will, Texas's intestate succession law decides who gets your property and who raises your children. For married couples, community property rules can produce surprising results. For single adults, assets may go to parents or siblings instead of the people who actually matter to you. This bundle gives you full control โ€” for less than the cost of a night out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to notarize or witness these documents?

Yes โ€” Texas has specific signing requirements for each document. The Will requires two witnesses (not beneficiaries) and optionally a notary for a self-proving affidavit. The Durable POA and Medical POA require notarization. The Directive to Physicians requires two witnesses. Each document in the bundle includes signing instructions.

Are these documents valid in Texas right now?

Yes. These documents are drafted to current Texas statutory requirements (Texas Estates Code, Texas Health & Safety Code). They reference the actual statutory forms where Texas law provides them. That said, estate planning law changes, and we recommend having a Texas attorney review them, especially if your estate is complex (business interests, blended families, significant assets).

What's the difference between this and the documents I can get from the State Bar?

The State Bar of Texas provides some basic statutory forms. This bundle goes further โ€” it includes detailed provisions, optional clauses (with explanations), and instructions on when to use each option. It's designed to actually be completed correctly, not just filled in and hoped for the best.

What is a Lady Bird Deed and do I need one?

A Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) lets you designate who inherits your Texas home when you die โ€” while keeping full control during your lifetime. It avoids probate (saving your heirs time and cost), protects the property from Medicaid estate recovery, and is revocable at any time. If you own a home in Texas and have people you want to leave it to, a Lady Bird Deed is one of the most valuable estate planning tools available.
