Three things you can do this week:

1. List every account and asset you own. Note which ones have named beneficiaries and which don't.
2. Write down the name of the person you'd want to raise your children if something happened to you.
3. Schedule a 15-minute call to find out where you actually stand.

That's it. Three steps.

We work with families across Brevard, Asheville, Hendersonville, Transylvania County, and all of Western North Carolina.

Without a will in North Carolina:

The court appoints an administrator for your estate, not someone you chose. A judge decides who raises your children.
The state's formula distributes your assets, regardless of your wishes. The process can take months to years and cost up to 10% of your estate.

A will doesn't eliminate all of that. But it gives every part of it direction, your direction.

This month's blog post covers the whole picture. Link in bio.

This is one of the most common assumptions I hear.

In North Carolina, if you die without a will and you have one child, your spouse receives the first $60,000 of personal property plus half of whatever remains. Your child receives the other half.

If you have two or more children, your spouse still gets the first $60,000, but only one third of the remainder. Your children split the other two thirds equally.

Real property works differently. Your spouse receives a fractional ownership interest in the land and home alongside your children, not after them. That shared ownership can get complicated fast, especially with a family home or generational mountain land.

That's the state's plan. Not yours.

Most people assume their spouse gets everything.

In North Carolina, that's often not how it works.

If you die without a will, the state's intestate succession law takes over. It divides your assets according to a formula that doesn't know your family, your wishes, or what you've built together.

This month on the blog: exactly what that formula says, what it costs, and what a will actually does, and doesn't, change. delaneylawnc.com/blog

Online tools can generate documents. What they cannot do is ask the questions you didn't know to ask, catch the scenario you hadn't thought through, or make sure the plan actually fits your family's real life. That's what Ky does.

If you have kids and you don't have an estate plan in place, or if you have one you're not fully confident in, we are here to help.

The first step is a free 15-minute call. It costs nothing to find out where you stand.

An estate plan is a snapshot of your life at the moment you made it. Life doesn't hold still.

If anything significant has changed in the last two or three years: a marriage, a move, a new family member, a business, a loss, your plan probably needs a look. Not a complete overhaul. Just a review.

July is a natural pause. Halfway through the year. A good moment to ask: is what I put in place still working for the life I'm actually living? If you'd like to find out, start with a free 15-minute call. Link in bio.

A Legacy Letter isn't a will. It isn't a trust. It won't hold up in court. But it might be the most useful thing you ever put together for your family.

It's a plain-language document that answers the questions your family will have when they need to act fast and thinking clearly is hardest:
- Where are the documents?
- Which accounts exist?
- Who is the attorney?
- Where is the safe?
- What insurance do you have?

It takes an afternoon to write. It can save your family weeks of searching.

Not just the big ones. The old employer policy. The one you set up twenty years ago and renewed on autopay. The group coverage from a job you left in 2008.

𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: insurer, policy number, approximate benefit, stored somewhere your family can actually find it.

That's it. That's the whole ask.

It takes less than an hour. It could save your family from missing something that belongs to them.

If you'd like help making sure nothing in your plan falls through the cracks, we are here to help!

If you've recently moved to Western NC, or if life has shifted in any significant way, your existing estate plan may not reflect where you are anymore. A new state means new laws. A new chapter means new priorities.

The update doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to happen.
