(Spoiler Alert: No cars)

The Georgia Transfer on Death Deed statute permits the conveyance of an “interest in real estate”.

This means an interest in land (including surface, minerals, structures, fixtures, and easements). See O.C.G.A. 44-17-1.

So unfortunately, a Ladybird Deed can’t be used to transfer your car, personal property, financial accounts, etc. You may consider a Will (which requires Probate Court), or a Trust (which does not require Probate Court) to transfer other types of property.
