Thorough, Patient, and Efficient

Ivana Bodey did an incredible job for me when I hired her to help with the probate process for my cousin, who died suddenly and without any will or other instructions as to how she wanted her estate distributed. To complicate the issue further, I was an out-of-state administrator. I vana not only ...thoroughly walked me through the entire process in advance, she then executed every detail flawlessly. She was patient with my questions and clear in her answers. She was extremely quick and efficient. She also went above and beyond, helping secure title for a vehicle that didn't have one, and coordinating efforts with a local realtor. I could not recommend Ivana highly enough.

Mrs. Susan McClelland

My husband and I relocated to the Big Island from California. We desperately needed to update our Trust after purchasing properties so that our children would have no issues down the road. Ivana is our perfect choice with her expertise and knowledge navigating both CA and HI into one cohesive Restate...ment. She reviewed our information thoroughly and set our meeting date promptly to accommodate our limited availability. Ivana is precise, professional, personable and charges an honest very reasonable fee. She made legal language easy for us to understand and clarified all our questions and concerns. Ivana does meticulous, excellent work and we could not be more grateful and pleased. We are confident to highly recommend Ivana Bodey Law.

Incredibly Professional

I was in the middle of closing on a vacant lot in Kamuela when it was discovered that the property hadn’t properly gone through probate after the passing of the sellers father. We have had many other obstacles from the county that we’ve worked through leading up to opening title and probate felt like... another mountain to climb. Fortunately Ivana was recommended from a family friend and she exceeded every expectation. She responded quickly whenever we had questions, her fee was extremely fair, and she helped wrap everything up in under 3 weeks. She’s the real deal and I wouldn’t use anyone else if I had to go through all of this again. Thanks again Ivana!

Extraordinaire

I had a unforseen probate on the Island of Hawaii that was triggered with a property sale. The title company had referred me to Ms. Bodey, we had a consultation and after that Ms. Bodey had agreed to represent me in closing out my mother's probate. We did all of this via email and phone conversatio...ns. I live on the mainland and the process went very smoothly. All my expectations were met. Ms. Bodey is a kind and thoughtful person that takes the time and effort to make the process work as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Bodey Law LLLC.

Sharp, precise and easy to work with

I’ve been working with Ivana for about 6 months and she’s an absolute pleasure. I’m a stickler for the details and her work has been perfect. Ivana clearly understood the outcome I desired, explained the process, potential hurdles and the costs involved. Her work product was precise and on time. ... I could not be happier.
