Mark: Hey, good morning. A question for you guys is, my mom just purchased a house, she's turning about 70 years old, and the biggest question—she has equity in it—what is the best way? She currently does not have a will in place, but is it some form of a trust or a lady bird deed or something that would put it just in case she passes? I have two other brothers and stuff, though. Attorney Tom Olsen: Mark, we're all about helping people to avoid probate here at the Olsen Law Group. We consider a trust to be a complicated tool for avoiding probate. A lot of our clients can use simple tools to avoid probate. You are absolutely right, Mark. To avoid probate for your mom, probably it's going to be using not a trust, but a simple lady bird deed. That lady bird deed would state that as long as your mom is alive, it is her home to do with as she pleases, but upon her death, that home would automatically go to her three children, no headaches, no hassles, no probate. Mark: Perfect. Is that a pretty quick process as far as it's just the consult and then do the paperwork and all that for you guys? Tom: Yes, you can call us. We can do the initial consult over the phone or in person, whatever you prefer. We would then prepare that lady bird deed. It does need to be witnessed and notarized, so if your mom could come to our office and she signs it, we'll witness and notarize it for her, but otherwise, we can email you the deed to you, and she could sign it outside the office if she arranges for her own witness and notary. Mark: Perfect. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Tom: Thank you, Mark. We'd love to assist you. We're the Olsen Law Group in Orlando. You can find out more about us at our website, olsenlawgroup.com. By the way, Holley, we have free booklets on lady bird deeds. Tell the listeners about that. Attorney Holley Knapik: We do. You could easily give us a call at 407-423-5561 and request a copy of our easy-to-read booklet about the enhanced life estate deed. That's its technical name, but it's about the lady bird deed, and Tom has written it in a way that makes it easy to read. It's full of really good information, and it describes what that deed does and how wonderful a tool it is. We also have booklets on easy ways to avoid probate, which you could also call and request, and we'd be happy to mail those out to you. Tom: Yes, you can call anytime, 407-423-5561. If nobody picks up, just leave your name and mailing address, and we'll get those booklets out in the mail to you. Yes, one is how to avoid probate on your home, and the other is easy ways to avoid probate. Holley, when you say easy to read, of course you mean it's in a language that anybody can understand. Holley: Layman's terms. Tom: Maybe as importantly, it's got big font. Holley: It does. [laughs] For those of us who are having trouble seeing, these days, it's helpful. Tom: Yes. I love to read books, and I use a Kindle reader, and I can make the font as big as I want. Holley: Isn't that a great tool to do that? Tom: It is a great tool. I love it. Again, if you want the free booklets, call the Olsen Law Group anytime, 407-423-5561. You can order them through our website as well, and that's olsenlawgroup.com. We'll get those booklets in the mail to you. We also have regular workshops on these topics, and you can call our law firm anytime, Olsen Law Group, and find out information about those workshops, at 407-423-5561.
