More details to this question:
Mom's husband (my father) passed recently. They both owned a house in Michigan. She has moved to Indiana to live with me, her child and is now a resident of Indiana. She is in the process of selling the house in Michigan. However, she is in poor health and is concerned that if she passed before the house sold, it would have go into probate. Since the house is in Michigan, can she sign a Lady Bird Estate to ensure house passes to me in the event of her death, or do Indiana probate laws dictate the process?

absolutely she can do a Lady Bird deed to avoid probate.
you will probably need to have her execute it in Indiana and then record it in Michigan.
