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.

Benefits of a Lady Bird Deed

The property passes directly to your beneficiaries, saving time and costs associated with the probate process.

We have now used BCN Law Firm on two separate occasions and each time we dealt with Carol Crowe and neither time did she disappoint. Always friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly available everytime we reached out. Also a special thanks to Isabel Freeman who was also very helpful. If you need any type of legal advice or assistance, I would not hesitate to reach out to BCN law firm.

I cannot say enough good things about Travis and his team and the way they handled my case. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and understood everything that was happening. They were professional, compassionate, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another case or a number. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and keep me informed throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how hard they worked on my behalf. They went the extra mile when they didn’t have to, fought for what was right, and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. If you are looking for an accident attorney who truly cares about their clients and is willing to go above and beyond, I highly recommend Travis. I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me and would absolutely trust them again.

Excellent Service. Excellent staff and personell. Very detailed and patient throughout the whole process. It took a while to get where we wanted to be, but it was well worth the wait. They fought for every penny, for my treatment after my car accident, and were very caring during every step of the way. I highly recommend and they now have a customer whenever I need a lawyer.

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!
