NC: Wills and Trusts
Everyone should have a will or trust document that indicates how they would like their property to be distributed upon their death. Without a properly executed will in North Carolina, your spouse or children take under the intestate succession statute, which may not be in line with your wishes. In addition, a will or trust can include many other provisions that ensure your wishes are followed and your loved ones are secure.
A Will or Trust may provide all or some of the following provisions and many more depending on your particular desires:
- specific burial arrangement
- bequests of personal property
- devises of real property
- charitable donations
- guardianship appointments
- testamentary trusts for the benefit of minor children
It is important to speak to an experienced and compassionate attorney, who can design a will or trust that takes into account all of your needs and interests. Our attorneys will help to ensure that you have a properly executed will or trust as part of a comprehensive estate plan that gives you peace of mind.
