Estate planning can be a complex task if you have a lot of assets, but this is specifically why you should consider taking the steps needed to protect and take care of your property and your heirs. Understanding how estate planning works and navigating the estate planning process on your own can be confusing and frustrating.

• Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney. We can help document your choices on distribution of your property (wills); where to hold your property until an appropriate time of transfer (trusts); and, put a plan in place for someone to act on your behalf in the event you are unable to do so (powers of attorney).
• Estate Administration of decedents and incompetents. You will want the help of a caring, local law firm to navigate the requirements of managing the affairs of a person deemed incompetent by the court or of a decedent’s estate in North Carolina.
