What is a Lady Bird Deed?

A Lady Bird Deed allows you to maintain full ownership and control of your property during your lifetime, including the ability to sell, mortgage, or lease it without your beneficiaries’ consent. Upon your death, the property is automatically transferred to your named beneficiaries, bypassing probate. This makes it an excellent option for simplifying your estate plan while retaining flexibility.

I hired BCN law firm to handle my bankruptcy. Having always prided myself in handling my finances responsibly, when I had some health issues which I could not recover from financially I decided to plead bankruptcy. BCN law firm ( Carol ) made the whole process seamless. Carol was understanding, professional, and put my mind at ease during this difficult time. It’s people like Carol who have compassion for people that makes all the difference when hiring an attorney. Thank you Carol and BCN Law firm. If I could leave 10 stars I would have. Thanks again Carol and Wade Boyette!
