Florida Enhanced Life Estate Deeds FAQs: Florida Enhanced vs. Traditional Life Estate Deed| Part 4
Welcome to the part 4 of our 5-part series answering frequently asked questions about Enhanced Life Estate Deeds in Florida. This video aims to provide a detailed introduction to the differences between Florida Enhanced Life Estate Deeds and Florida Traditional Life Estate Deeds.
Key Differences:
➡️1. Control During Lifetime:
Enhanced Life Estate Deed: The grantor (property owner) retains full control over the property during their lifetime. They can sell, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of the property without needing consent from the remainder beneficiaries.
Traditional Life Estate Deed: The grantor has limited control. They cannot sell or mortgage the property without the consent of the remainder beneficiaries (those who inherit the property).
➡️2. Protection from Creditors:
Enhanced Life Estate Deed: Offers some level of protection against the remainder beneficiaries’ creditors. The property is not considered an asset of the beneficiaries until the grantor's death.
Traditional Life Estate Deed: Since the remainder interest is an immediate legal interest, creditors of the beneficiaries may have a claim against it.
➡️3. Medicaid Estate Recovery:
Enhanced Life Estate Deed: In Florida, these deeds are often used to avoid Medicaid estate recovery. The property may not be subject to claims for reimbursement for Medicaid expenses, depending on specific circumstances and timing.
Traditional Life Estate Deed: The property is considered part of the estate and may be subject to Medicaid estate recovery.
➡️4. Ease of Transfer at Death:
Enhanced Life Estate Deed: Allows the property to pass automatically to the remainder beneficiaries upon the death of the grantor, avoiding probate.
Traditional Life Estate Deed: Also bypasses probate, but the lack of control during the grantor's lifetime is a significant difference.
