My late neighbor did a "Lady Bird Deed" prior to her passing away. This was done in February of 2018. The house is in Tallahassee (Leon County); the attorney who drafted the deed is in adjoining Wakulla County.
Here is a link to said deed. Perhaps it will shed light on your question.

Michael, best to ask a real estate attorney or at least the title company you are working with.

You need legal advice here. Well beyond the scope of this forum. Your profile says you are an attorney. Did they cover this in school?

Since I had to Google the term "lady bird deed" (which sounds, I don't know, just so quaint), I'm not the one to give a knowledgable answer, but I do appreciate the opportunity to learn something new today.

What you are asking is all Greek to me! Plus it sounds like a legal question, which should be posed to an attorney and not to real estate agents as we are not allowed to "practice law."

Michael, without seeing the exact language contained in the ladybird (enhanced life estate) deed, I could not give you a specific answer. But basically yes, the transfer would extinguish the rights of the remaindermen.

You're going to need somebody well-versed in Florida real estate. We have those, but they probably are not going to answer you without representing you and specifics. Even then they may direct you to an attorney.

A ladybird deed (aka life estate) can be defined as ownership for life literally. You can transfer the property but it's possession won't extend beyond the initial principal's demise. They are called life tenants sometimes. At death the remainderman gains full control to dispose or use the property in any way they want.

It's called a life estate here and they can't "sell" it after that deed is signed except for selling what they own which is the right to occupy until their death. So if I had a life estate and sold it when I died my named heir would then still own the house.
