I did such a deed and had the attorneys for the villages draw it up. I believe their name is Burnsed etc and there is an office in Sumter Landing. They do a lot of these deeds. There is no ownership at all for the person/persons listed in the deed to inherit your home until you pass and protects your asset without probate. No risk on your part to have this drawn up. It cost $200 at the time but that was in 2013. In Illinois the same deed is called a TOD or transfer on death deed. Different name but same as Lady Bird deed in Fl. Spent the $200 or so to have it done right and recorded. It's a great alternative to a trust that insures no probate be involved. Good luck!
