You might find a game changer for your estate planning or probate needs at this site. Game changers make the difference in success and failure as you navigate complicated systems such as estate tax, the probate process, will and trusts, or guardianship. They are the little hinges that swing big doors. Why might this site be a game changer?

As the saying goes, “It’s easier to get old than it is to get wise.” You’ve gained wisdom over years because you’ve asked yourself questions that worry you and now you are here seeking answers. The fact that you’re reading this means you’re ready to find your trustworthy guide for your planning.

Most people come here for one of two reasons, or sometimes both. The first is because they want to plan ahead and want to do it in a smart way, using tools such as wills, trusts, or other planning documents to create a strong estate plan. The other reason is that life has suddenly become a lot more complicated because you’re having to deal with health care worries for yourself or a loved one, or that one of your loved ones has recently passed away. In either case, our estate planning attorneys can help navigate powers of attorney, tax laws, probates, and other legal documents.

Now that you are asking these questions, know this: your answers are ready. We have an extensive library of estate planning documents and articles to help North Carolina boomers and seniors who face these questions and concerns. Plus, we meet with clients who seek our guidance, knowing that we focus on serving seniors and those who love them.

A major part of our our mission is providing useful education for trustees and beneficiaries, as well as to individuals who are seeking help with planning documents. We seek to provide planning tools that help folks navigate elder law estate planning in North Carolina. A pioneer in elder law, Dennis Toman became frustrated and sad that so many people could be helped but they never got the information they needed in time. So he started writing articles on estate planning, and began giving talks to share information on topics (such as planning strategies, trustee and successor trustee, trust administration, and more) that lawyers and the system traditionally used to make things complicated. Then came the internet and he launched his first website in 1996 to make that information more freely available.

Our clients love this focus on education first. The more information we give away, the more clients call us and seek our help with their trust related needs. The secrets we share give families knowledge and confidence about their estate planning options: how to get started and what’s important.
