A Comprehensive Will And Estate Plan Package

Our will and estate plan package is designed to simplify your estate planning process. This cohesive package is not only convenient but also tailored to fit your needs and budget. It includes:

  • A simple will: Outlines how you wish to distribute your assets after your passing. It is the cornerstone of any estate plan.
  • A living will: Provides instructions on your health care preferences if you become unable to communicate your wishes. This can include whether you wish to remain on life support.
  • HIPAA release form: Allows health care providers to share your medical information with designated individuals. This gives them the necessary information to make informed decisions about your treatment.
  • Durable power of attorney: Grants someone the authority to manage your financial affairs if you are unable to do so. It provides peace of mind knowing that your finances are in capable hands.
  • Health care power of attorney: Gives a trusted person the power to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.

Our package covers all the essential aspects of estate planning. Instead of a complex and overwhelming process, it offers a straightforward approach. We designed it to be cost-efficient; you can afford every necessary document without straining your wallet.

The Hazards Of Dying Without A Will

Dying without a will, also known as dying intestate, can lead to unintended consequences. Without a will, North Carolina’s intestacy laws will dictate how your assets are distributed. This often means your assets may not go to the people or organizations you would have chosen. For example, if you have a spouse and children, the first $60,000 goes to your surviving spouse — even if you would prefer that all your assets go to your children. That is why it is never too soon to create a will. Every adult should have one. Given the unpredictability of life, do not procrastinate making one.

Shield Your Loved Ones From Probate

Probate can be a long, expensive and emotionally draining process for your loved ones if you pass away without a will. Without clear instructions, the court will decide how to distribute your assets, which can lead to lengthy delays and added stress during an already difficult time. Without a will, family members may face confusion and potential disputes over your estate. This process can drain precious resources from your estate. Even if you are not interested in creating a will for yourself, do it for your family.

How Often Should I Update My Will?

Life can and does change. As it does, you should change your will and estate documents, too. You should always update your will after major life events such as:

  • Marriage
  • Divorce
  • The birth of a child
  • The acquisition of significant assets
  • The purchase or sale of real property

Our estate planning attorneys build long-lasting relationships with our clients. This helps them stay informed about your life and your goals. They go to great lengths to keep your estate plan current and effective.
