Satterfield Legal, PLLC Law Firm focusing on Estate Planning and Administration. I became an Attorney because I wanted to help people and make a positive impact in their lives.

In my current practice I seek to become your trusted advisor in Estate Planning, Estate Administration and Real Estate Matters that deserve the upmost respect and detail. I have seen first hand the negative effects on a family stemming from a bad Estate Plan and no Estate Plan at all. An effective Estate Plan gives you peace of mind knowing that your family and property are taken care of. It also provides you with the comfort knowing that you have put plans in place for your health and finances in the event that you are unable to make those decisions yourself. Administering and Estate when a loved one has passed can be stressful. I seek to make the process easier by giving you peace of mind that your loved ones wishes are being carried out in the manner that your loved one intended and in accordance with North Carolina law. I look forward to working with you and becoming your trusted advisor.

Fall is just getting started in North Carolina! The cooler weather and changing leaves make this season one of the most beautiful times of the year.

The Blue Ridge Parkway offers some of the best views of the state if you are looking to get out of Charlotte. However, there are also plenty of fall activities here in town, from watching the Carolina Panthers to pumpkin patches, going apple picking, or getting lost in a corn maze.

Check out this article for a full list of fall activities both in Charlotte and outside the city.

This month, we celebrate the rich culture, traditions, history, and contributions of Polish Americans throughout our communities and across our nation.

Maria was born in Warsaw, Poland, and immigrated to the United States as a child. Her family’s 4,700 mile journey to Charlotte was the beginning of new opportunities in pursuit of a better life than what was available under the Communist Regime.

Polish-American Heritage Month is a beautiful reminder of the importance of family and honoring where we come from.

Accidents, sudden illnesses, or progressive conditions can leave you unable to communicate your wishes. Without clear guidance, loved ones and doctors may face difficult decisions, and your family members might disagree about what is best for you. Having a Healthcare Power of Attorney and Living Will allows you to name a point person to give doctors clear instructions about your care and prevents potential conflicts among family members.

If you recently sent your youngest child off to college, you are now an empty nester. You are likely enjoying the kind of perks you used to dream about, including uninterrupted meals, evenings without sports practice, watching your adult children succeed.

When it comes to your estate plan, your kids are now “adults,” so you do not need to worry about ​g​uardianship. However, when it comes to any assets you leave behind for them, there are still important things to consider when leaving an inheritance to a young adult.

Becoming an empty nester is a great opportunity to review your estate plan and consider any changes that need to be made. At Satterfield Legal, we are happy to help you review your estate plan for any updates. Call our office at 980-389-0701 to get started.

It is rarely a good idea to leave assets outright to a minor, because a minor child is deemed incompetent in the eyes of the law, so they cannot control assets they inherit. If assets are left to a minor, the court appoints a guardian to manage those assets until the child turns 18.

The best way to ensure your minor children are provided for if you die is to establish a Will and/or a Trust and appoint a guardian/Trustee to manage those assets for your minor children until they can receive their inheritance. To learn more about providing for minor children in your estate plan, contact our office at 980-389-0701.

One of the most common questions we are asked is how to avoid probate. The most comprehensive way to do so is to create a Trust.

Not everyone needs a Trust, but we routinely recommend creating one if your circumstances warrant it. A trust allows you to transfer assets to a designated trustee, who will manage and distribute them according to your instructions. Trusts can minimize estate taxes, protect your assets from creditors, and ensure a smooth transition of wealth to the next generation.

If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of creating a trust, call our office at 980-389-0701.
