Default 'Ladybird' Deed

Does anyone have one?

I'm impressed by the recommendation of my attorney that this is a completely effective way of passing property to heirs without going through probate and lengthy delays. There are also other advantages to the deed in Florida with respect to the homestead exemption and protection from creditors. Best of all, the deed costs about one tenth of the cost of a trust, which many folks down here seem to think you have to have to protect your estate.
