Estate Planning Questions

FAQs About Estate Planning in NC

  • At what age should I start estate planning?

    It’s never too early. Anyone with assets or dependents should consider at least a will and power of attorney.

  • What happens if I die without a will in NC?

    State intestacy laws decide how your property is distributed, which may not match your wishes.

  • Do I need both a will and a trust?

    Many families benefit from just a will, but trusts can provide extra benefits like avoiding probate or caring for minors.

  • How much does it cost to create an estate plan?

    Costs depend on complexity. A simple will is less than a comprehensive plan with trusts and multiple documents. Your initial consultation is free.
