Estate planning is a set of documents and processes that arrange how your assets are managed, protected, and transferred to your heirs after your passing. It helps prevent disputes and ensures your values are reflected in decisions. Working with a local attorney provides guidance tailored to North Carolina laws, taxes, and family situations, making it easier to implement and preserve wealth across generations.
A living trust is a revocable arrangement that holds title to assets during your lifetime and directs their transfer after death. It can help you avoid probate and maintain privacy. Consider a living trust if you want seamless management during incapacity, faster transfers for beneficiaries, and ongoing control without court oversight.
Even with a trust, a will can address assets outside the trust and provide a backup plan. It can designate guardians for minors and specify last wishes. A coordinated approach ensures every asset is covered and reduces the chance of probate disputes.
Plan documents should be reviewed after major life events such as marriage, birth, divorce, or relocation. Regular updates help maintain alignment with current goals and assets. We offer periodic reviews to keep plans flexible and enforceable.
