Life changes, and estate documents may need an update along with it.

A periodic review can help you see whether your current plan still reflects your family, assets, and wishes.

In North Carolina, a licensed attorney has a defined role in residential real estate closings. Legal services tied to the closing include areas such as title work, document preparation, and legal advice.

Buying or selling property already comes with plenty of people and paperwork. Our blog explains where the attorney fits into the closing process and what buyers and sellers can expect from that role.

Wills and trusts come up in the same breath, so the distinction can get fuzzy.

A will directs how certain property should be handled after death and can address guardianship for minor children. A trust can hold and manage assets under terms you set, during life, after death, or both.

Some estate plans use one. Some use both. The right mix depends on your family, property, goals, and priorities.

Our blog gives you a simple comparison without burying you in legal terminology.

October is Estate Planning Awareness Month, which gives us a perfectly good excuse to make wills a little less awkward.

Estate planning can include wills, powers of attorney, healthcare documents, beneficiary choices, and trusts for some families. Learning what each document does is a pretty good October project.

Bonus points if you celebrate with c***r!

Today, we’re celebrating a HUGE milestone — 10 years since our incredible attorney and founder started this firm! ⚖️🥂

Ten years ago, she took a leap of faith, put her vision into action, and built a law firm from the ground up. What started with a dream has grown into a thriving firm, an amazing team, and a place where clients feel cared for, supported, and truly valued.

Anyone who knows her knows that being an attorney is so much more than a job to her. She genuinely cares about her clients, her team, and the people around her. She has a huge heart, works incredibly hard, and is always willing to go the extra mile — even when she probably already has 47 things on her to-do list! 😂She leads with compassion, works with purpose, and has created a team that feels more like family.

Of course, building a firm over the last 10 years hasn’t always been easy. There have been long days, stressful moments, countless phone calls, plenty of paperwork, and probably an unreasonable amount of coffee. ☕😂 But through it all, she has continued to show up, work hard, and make a difference in the lives of so many.🖤✨

Happy 10-Year Anniversary, Amanda! Here’s to the first 10 years and many, many more! 🥂⚖️🎉

We’re so grateful for everything she brings to our firm. Her hard work, kindness, leadership, & of course, her sweet personality.

Here’s to 6 wonderful years & many, many more to come!

Everyone help us wish Emily a very happy 6 year anniversary!✨💙🎉
