One of the most common estate planning surprises is that certain assets pass according to a beneficiary designation — not according to your Will.

That can include things like:
• Life insurance policies
• Retirement accounts
• Some bank and investment accounts

So if your Will says one thing, but an old beneficiary designation says something different, the beneficiary designation will generally control that asset.

That’s why estate planning is about more than signing a Will. Your Will, trust, deeds, account ownership, and beneficiary designations all need to work together as part of the same plan.

A good estate plan isn’t just about having documents — it’s about making sure everything points in the same direction.

Today is a sad day. 💔 Around our office, Teresa has a little shorthand she uses from time to time: WWDD — What Would Dolly Do?

It usually means: be kind, stay true to who you are, and when you’re fortunate enough to have something to give, give back.

Dolly Parton’s generosity was every bit as remarkable as her talent. She used her success to make a difference in the lives of others, and her example has always inspired us. Our ability to give is on a much, much smaller scale, but we hope we can carry a little of that same spirit into the community we call home.

What a wonderful legacy to leave behind — not simply that you were successful, but that you used that success to make life a little better for someone else.

WWDD. We think we’ll keep asking. ❤️

Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for the music, the laughter, the kindness, and the example.

A little Friday good news to start the weekend! 💙🏆

We’re proud to share that Michael won 2nd Place for Best Attorney in The Wake Weekly’s 2026 Best of the Best!
After placing third last year, moving up to second makes this recognition even more special. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who voted and continues to support our office.

And congratulations to Annette Rhodes of Rhodes Law Firm, who won 1st Place, and John Cooke, who placed 3rd. Both are highly regarded attorneys, and it is truly an honor to have Michael’s name included in that company.

Not a bad way to head into the weekend! 🥂

The Golden Years Expo was a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together and connect older adults and their families with valuable resources, services, and support. 💛 And we went full fairytale for the Disney theme!

A big thank you to Town of Rolesville, NC and The Senior Network for hosting such a meaningful event and creating a space for seniors to learn, connect, and discover resources available right here in our community.

We were grateful to be part of the day and enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people. Here’s to celebrating and supporting our seniors through every season of life! 🌟

A small-town business never grows alone.
From the people who print our materials and maintain our office to the restaurants that feed us on busy days, local businesses support one another in countless ways.

This week, we’re giving a shoutout to Reed Murphy at Carolina Pack Ship and Print for printing our rack cards and business cards.

Rolesville is stronger because of the people behind its small businesses. Tag one that deserves a little recognition.

A will is not only for people with large estates. It is where you name the person you trust to handle your affairs, identify who should receive your property and provide guidance for the people you leave behind.

August is National Make-A-Will Month—a good reminder to create a plan or take another look at the one you already have.

Today we’re celebrating the man behind the name on the door. 🎉🎂🥳

Michael spends so much of his time serving clients, supporting our community and taking care of the people around him. Today, we hope he feels just how appreciated he is.

He’ll finish the day with two of his favorite things—steak 🥩 and time with family and dear friends.

Please help us wish Michael a very happy birthday!
