"I want to protect my spouse and children from liability, lawsuits, or possible long-term care costs."

"I want my family to be able to focus on what's important in a crisis--NOT a bunch of 'red tape' and court costs."

"It would be a shame if I didn't do everything I could to provide for the people I love."

There are many reasons families in the Raleigh-Durham-Cary area hire a Trust Attorney to help with their estate plans. You may be wondering if you should set up a trust. Or you may have a trust that needs to be updated. Or you may be named as a successor trustee and need help settling an estate. In all of these cases, it pays to work with a law firm that is focused specifically on estate planning and long-term care issues.

There is a ton of information available about trusts online--maybe even a little too much. It's easy to understand how someone could be overwhelmed with all the different types of trusts, the tradeoffs involved, and the mechanics of how trusts work. It's no surprise that most people, after doing their initial research, want to find a professional to help guide them.

But who?

From the get-go, I founded my firm to help people live better lives by planning for a secure future. We do that by making it easy for our clients to do their planning right. We sometimes refer to Carolina Family Estate Planning as a "concierge-level" law firm. That's because we are with our clients, every step of the way. We sweat the details. Because we know how important it is to get the details right.

Is a Concierge-Level Law Firm Right For You?

It would be short-sighted of me to say we are the right firm for everyone. The truth is that each and every person has different needs and wants for themselves and their families. Each person's unique values map back to what their entire estate plan--not just the trust--can do for them.

"But How Should I Choose An Attorney?"

"We help people," is one of the Core Values of our firm. We are always striving to help people, regardles of whether they become a client of ours or not. A while back, we had a prospective client come ot our office after visiting multiple other law firms in the Raleigh area. After he and his wife sat down, he pulled a stack of papers from his briefcase. "You're the firm I want to work with," he said. "And here's why..."

The papers he pulled out of his briefcase were a set of questions and answers he had put together for choosing an estate planning attorney. At the end of the meeting, I asked him about his system for choosing an attorney. I knew that if I could share the system with others, it would be incredibly helpful for getting a lot of people over the hurdles and decision paralysis they face when looking for an attorney.

So we asked our client for permission to share his system. And after a little simplification, we developed a 6-Step System for Finding the Right Estate Planning Attorney for You.
