Which Deed Do I Need?

Most Texas homeowners use either a Transfer on Death Deed or a Lady Bird Deed to help pass real property outside of probate. The questionnaire gives a preliminary direction, and the attorney confirms the right deed during the confirmation call.

Transfer on Death Deed may fit if:

- You mainly want to avoid probate
- You want to keep ownership while alive
- You want the beneficiary to receive the property only after death
- You will sign the deed yourself
- You want a straightforward statutory deed option

Lady Bird Deed may fit if:

- You want more flexibility
- You may need someone to sign under power of attorney
- Medicaid or long-term care planning may be involved
- You want warranty language or a more customized deed structure
- The attorney recommends it after reviewing your answers
