Estate Planning

Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy or the old. If you have kids, assets, or people who depend on you, having a plan in place matters. We make it straightforward and affordable to get the documents you need.

We provide flat-fee estate planning services tailored to your values, your family, and North Carolina law.

What We Help With

We prepare last wills and testaments, durable powers of attorney for financial matters, healthcare powers of attorney, living wills and advance directives, HIPAA authorizations, revocable living trusts when appropriate, and guardianship designations for minor children.

Estate Planning for All Families

Traditional estate planning templates don't always work for non-traditional families. We work with blended families, unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ families, and families who built through assisted reproduction to make sure legal parentage and guardianship are clearly established.

Your documents should reflect your actual family, not just the version that fits neatly into a form.

How We Work

We offer flat-fee packages so you know exactly what you're paying before we start. We walk you through your options, draft documents tailored to your situation, and make sure everything is properly executed and stored.
