Lady Bird Deed | What is a Ladybird Deed?
I think the term enhanced life estate deed is what is used in Fl for the Lady Bird. Thank you.

As pointed out in the reference the ownership of the property is split between the original owner for life and the beneficiary is entitled to the property after the owner dies. Thus if the owner wants to sell the property the owner needs to get the beneficiary's rights back.
