There is a huge difference. With joint tenancy, both owners have equal rights to use the property, to borrow against it, or to sell it, and creditors can place a lien against the property for the debts of either owner. With a ladybird deed, the named beneficiary has no rights to do anything until the owner dies. And, the owner can change the deed at any time.
