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.

Lois Carr

Polite, knowledgeable and thorough. Our attorney was prepared for our visit. We were treated with respect.

Robert Miner

I was referred to Wade Boyette by my investment advisor, Jean Dorrell, after moving to Florida and needing to set up a Trust and update my Will. Before deciding to work with Wade, I did my due diligence — reviewing his Better Business Bureau rating and reading online reviews — all of which were overwhelmingly positive, and now I see why.

From our first meeting, I was very impressed with Wade’s knowledge, professionalism, and ability to clearly explain the legal process. He answered all my questions thoroughly and offered thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. He handled the setup of my Trust and the update to my Will efficiently and in a timely manner.

I highly recommend Wade Boyette to anyone in need of reliable and experienced legal services.

Shannon Bass

Office ataff was extremely friendly! Wade was fantastic and explained everything to us! I highly recommend them.

Troy Ford

I had the misfortune of having to file for bankruptcy last year. I hired BCN Law firm to handle my case and dealt mostly with Ken Costello and his assistant Carol. They did an outstanding job on my case which was not the average case. They analyzed my situation and found the best path for me to move forward. It did take a long time to go through (such is the case with bankruptcy) but Carol kept my wife and me updated and assured us that our worst fears were not something that was going to happen. I would recommend the firm to anyone who needs one of the services they provide.

Sonja Gore

I had a great professional experience with the staff at BCN Law Firm and wholeheartedly recommend to any future clients in need of organizing their final affairs.

Lynn Willis

Everyone was very friendly, concerned about us. They explained everything to us. Thank you for your kindness.

Jeff Milroy

My experience with Heath and the staff was great. This was something new for me, and they explained everything very well. It was easy to get my questions answered and the whole process seemed to go very smoothly. Heath's paralegal Lynnette was very helpful and kept me updated and informed along the way. Thank you all so much and I will definitely use and recommend you in the future.

Lula Patrick

Very professional. Very happy with the services. I would highly suggest anyone to use his services.

Jude Hamilton

Excellent service, knowledgeable and reasonable. I feel that I’m in good hands with Wade and team.

BCN and Wade Boyette were very professional in every way in support of our needs for our final documents. They go the extra few miles to insure satisfaction of service. They spoke plainly and clearly about the final issues and easily walked us through difficult decisions. Their services are reasonably priced. A good choice
