Charlotte Estate Planning Lawyer
Serving Individuals, Families & Businesses in Raleigh & Wilson, NC
At Hicks-Guinn Law, we are dedicated to helping you protect your assets, your legacy, your preferences and your wishes regarding many aspects of your life both before and after your passing.
While most of us would prefer not to think about how to prepare for the transfer of our estates, doing so can bring peace of mind to you and your family.
Estate planning can clarify your wishes and the legal process of passing on your legacy at a time when your family will likely need it the most. Planning is not just for the very wealthy or the very old. Anyone who owns anything has an “estate.” Furthermore, the future can be uncertain for anyone at any age, reinforcing the need for detailed estate plans.
Discuss your needs in a confidential consultation with our Charlotte estate planning attorney by contacting us online or at (888) 373-9699.
Our Legal Services in Charlotte, Raleigh & Wilson
Estate planning typically includes the bequest of assets to heirs and the settlement of estate taxes. It also includes decisions regarding personal matters, such as who will care for minor children or incapacitated family members.
This type of planning is vital because it provides a clear directive of your wishes, ensuring that your loved ones are provided for in the best way possible and avoiding unnecessary legal complications or disputes.
Furthermore, it can minimize the taxes that may erode the estate, allowing more of your assets to benefit your heirs. To help you navigate this complex process, Hicks-Guinn Law offers a comprehensive range of estate planning services, including using wills and trusts, designating guardianships, business succession planning and estate administration through probate and trust administration.
