Emily M. Sullivan, an associate of the firm and Gregg A. Nathanson, a shareholder of the firm, recently published an article in the Michigan State Bar Journal, a publication sent to all attorneys in Michigan. The article, entitled Ladybird Deeds: Key Features and Uses, discusses the popular technique of using a “ladybird” deed to effectuate the transfer of real estate. The deed provides for an automatic transfer of property at death if the owner does not transfer title during their lifetime. Recent case law and considerations for practitioners to effectively utilize ladybird deeds in their practices are also discussed.
