Five practice areas, one attorney, and one plan built to keep your family out of court.
The core of the practice. We build the will, the trust, the powers of attorney and the healthcare directives as one plan, so your property passes to the people you named instead of a judge deciding for them and that your wishes are followed during an incapacity. Drafted for North Carolina law and explained in plain English before you sign anything.
Included: Last will and testament · Revocable living trust · Durable power of attorney · Healthcare power of attorney and living will · Deed transfer into your trust
When someone you love leaves a trust behind, the trustee inherits a job most people have never done. We guide trustees through distributions, administrative filings and the legal duties they have taken on, so nothing gets missed and no one is left exposed.
Not every estate avoids probate, and when it doesn’t, the paperwork lands on a grieving family. We take the estate through the clerk’s office from start to finish, from qualifying the executor to filing the final accounting.
When a parent or adult child can no longer manage their own affairs, the court decides who steps in. We prepare and file the guardianship petition and stand with your family through the hearing.
Inherited property with several owners who cannot agree becomes a stalemate fast. When co-owners are stuck, a partition action resolves the split, by sale or by division, so no one is trapped in property they cannot use.
