Back in the day, when I started practicing law, clients would often come in with the notion that they needed a “quitclaim” deed (or “quick claim” deed as some would call it). I never understood why that term seemed so magical to people, but it did. And so, I would spend time in client meetings figuring out if they needed a deed at all, and then explaining what the difference was between a quitclaim deed and other common types of deeds. Today, clients come in similarly excited about needing a “ladybird” deed. As it was with the quitclaim deed in years past, so it is with the ladybird deed these days. People just seem to like the name or the notion of it.
