Once you have the ladybird deed (also commonly referred to as an Enhanced Life Estate Deed) signed in front of a notary public, you would simply record it at the local land Records Office to enter it into the public records. You don't have to do anything else with it other than get it signed, notarized, and then recorded.

Where is the local records office here in San Antonio?

Barrister

You can contact the Bexar County Clerk regarding property information by calling (210) 335-2216.

The County Clerk is located at:

100 Dolorosa, Suite 104

San Antonio, Texas 78205

Open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

This division handles Real Property / Land Records.

Last question. Do those ladybird deeds usually protect against probate and Medicaid taking it? I am trying to get my loved one into the nursing home and they said that they don’t take the house or car as reimbursement.

Barrister

Yes. That is one of the primary reasons that people use them in states that allow them because that protects the real estate from creditors because you are essentially giving up ownership of the asset now and just retaining a right to use it for your lifetime.

Ok thank you.
