If you have created a lady bird deed, also commonly referred to as an Enhanced Life Estate Deed, then once you have it signed in front of a notary public, you simply record it at the local land records office to enter it into the public record. 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’s office is located at 100 Dolorosa, Suite 104, San Antonio, Texas 78205, and operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This division handles real property and land records.
Last question—do those lady bird deeds usually protect against probate and Medicaid taking it? I am trying to get my loved one into a 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 they protect the real estate from creditors. You are essentially giving up ownership of the asset now and just retaining the right to use it for your lifetime.
Ok, thank you.
Barrister
You are very welcome. Glad I could help. It was my pleasure to work with you and assist with your question.
