Wills & Estate Planning
If you’re ready to draft a will, it’s imperative to have a trustworthy, knowledgeable estate planning lawyer by your side. Our firm will establish and document your final wishes and safeguard your estate. During the complex process, we’ll provide guidance, security, and peace of mind; ensuring your requests are communicated and completed specifically as you wish.
Do I even need a will?
Yes. A will allows you to direct how you want your real and personal property to be distributed upon your death. Without a will, your property will be distributed according to state statutes.
Can't I just get a form on the internet?
You could, but you may not have met the specific Will requirements of NC by doing so. Also, language in those documents could be ambiguous and your wishes may end up not being carried out as you wanted.
Who should I name as my executor in my will?
You should name someone you trust absolutely who understands what your wishes are and will follow those instructions.
Where should I keep my executed will?
The will should be kept somewhere safely such as a safe deposit box where it is accessible when necessary but not where it can be easily destroyed or stolen.
What about healthcare power of attorneys, living wills, and general power of attorneys? Do I need those?
In order to have a comprehensive plan, it is best to have all these documents prepared in advance so your wishes are documented in writing in the event you become incapacitated.
