Hayward California Enhanced Life Estate or Lady Bird Grant Deed is a legal arrangement in which two individuals, or a married couple, transfer their property to an individual, while retaining the right to live on the property for the rest of their lives. This type of deed provides certain advantages and additional flexibility compared to traditional life estate deeds. In Hayward California, there are two main types of Enhanced Life Estate or Lady Bird Grant Deeds that can be employed by two individuals, or a husband and wife, when transferring property to an individual: 1. Enhanced Life Estate Deed: This type of deed allows the transferors (the individuals or couple giving the property) to retain several rights during their lifetime, such as the right to live on the property, the right to keep any rental income generated by the property, and the right to sell or mortgage the property without requiring the consent of the person to whom the property is being transferred (the grantee). This type of deed also protects the grantee from any potential claims against the property made by the transferors or their creditors. 2. Lady Bird Grant Deed: The Lady Bird Grant Deed, named after Lady Bird Johnson, offers similar benefits as the Enhanced Life Estate Deed. However, it includes an additional advantage by allowing the transferors to reserve the right to unilaterally revoke or modify the deed's provisions during their lifetimes, without requiring the grantee's consent. This flexibility distinguishes the Lady Bird Grant Deed from other life estate arrangements. Both the Enhanced Life Estate Deed and the Lady Bird Grant Deed in Hayward California provide the grantee with immediate ownership rights, including the right to possess, use, and transfer the property after the granters' passing. These deeds bypass the need for probate, as the transfer of ownership occurs automatically upon the granters' deaths. In conclusion, the Hayward California Enhanced Life Estate or Lady Bird Grant Deed allows individuals or married couples to transfer their property to another person while maintaining their right to reside on the property until their demise. The Enhanced Life Estate Deed and Lady Bird Grant Deed provide various benefits, such as a continued right of residence for the granters, protection against potential claims, and the avoidance of probate. The Lady Bird Grant Deed allows additional flexibility by permitting the granters to modify or revoke the deed's provisions during their lifetime.
