Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and transfer of your assets at death or during incapacity. It helps you name guardians, designate beneficiaries, and choose trusted fiduciaries to carry out your decisions.\n\nIn North Carolina, a well-drafted plan minimizes family disagreements, reduces taxes, and clarifies responsibilities for executors and guardians. Our team can tailor documents to your goals while ensuring they work together with business agreements and ongoing compliance.
Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney form the core of most plans. Wills direct asset distribution after death; trusts can provide control and tax efficiency; powers of attorney handle decision-making during incapacity.\n\nAdditionally, beneficiary designations, living wills, advance directives, and corporate agreements for businesses ensure a coordinated approach, aligning personal and enterprise goals while meeting state requirements.
A formal review every three to five years is a good rule of thumb, or after major life events such as marriage, birth, relocation, or divorce.\nWe recommend updates when family circumstances change, assets shift, or laws update, to keep plans aligned with current needs and opportunities.
