A revocable living trust is one of the most effective ways to help your loved ones avoid probate and simplify the transfer of assets.

With a properly funded trust, you maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while creating a smoother path for beneficiaries after you're gone. This estate planning strategy can provide greater privacy, faster access to assets, and fewer court-related delays. 🏡

Unlike assets that pass through probate, assets held in a revocable trust can transfer directly according to your wishes. The right trust structure can help protect beneficiaries, streamline estate administration, and keep personal family matters out of court.

Take the next step toward protecting your legacy. Contact Trusts and Estates Law Group today to schedule a confidential consultation and learn whether a revocable trust is right for your estate plan.

Estate planning is not just for later in life. For young families, it can be one of the most important ways to protect your children, your wishes, and the future you are building.

Without a will, guardianship plan, trust, medical directive, or power of attorney, major decisions about your children and assets may be left to the court. A thoughtful estate plan can help name trusted guardians, protect minor children’s inheritance, avoid unnecessary court supervision, and give your family clear direction during a crisis. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

We help North Carolina parents create estate planning strategies designed for real family needs, including wills, trusts for minor children, life insurance planning, powers of attorney, and health care directives.

What separates a revocable trust from an irrevocable trust?

With a revocable trust, you keep control and flexibility. You can change terms or dissolve it at any time. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, typically means giving up control once assets are transferred.

Understanding this distinction is important when planning your estate. The right structure depends on your goals, your assets, and how much control you want to maintain. ⚖️

Life changes like marriage, divorce, new tax laws, or shifts in assets can impact how your trust should function. A trust that worked years ago may no longer align with your current goals. 📄

Is it possible to update a trust after it has already been established? In many cases, yes. Revocable trusts can often be modified with relative ease, while irrevocable trusts may require court involvement depending on the changes.

Even small adjustments can have legal and tax implications, so it is important to approach modifications carefully. An experienced attorney can guide you through the process and help protect your long-term goals.

Have you confirmed that your medical decision making documents are complete and up to date? A Health Care Power of Attorney works alongside a living will to ensure both authority and guidance are clearly established. 📋

While a living will outlines your treatment preferences, a Health Care Power of Attorney names the person authorized to act for you. Having both documents strengthens your overall plan.

Review your estate plan to make sure you are fully protected. Call today to get started.

Living trusts can be amended or revoked during your lifetime and allow you to maintain control while you are alive and well. Proper planning ensures your property is managed according to your instructions. 📂

[Post - OCT] If Your Will Isn’t Valid, Who Decides? | Scheduled 11.12.25

# data[].attributes.body
If your will isn’t valid, here’s what happens: the court ignores it. Instead, intestate succession takes over, splitting your property according to state law.

This process:
➡️ Gives shares based on statute, not your wishes
➡️ Ignores blended families or charitable goals
➡️ Can cause conflict, delays, and legal costs

The solution is simple: make sure you have a valid, current will so your voice guides what happens, not the state’s.

[Post - OCT] Is Notarization Required for a Valid Will in North Carolina? | Scheduled 10.16.25

# data[].attributes.body
✍🏻 The short answer: No.

A will in North Carolina does not need notarization to be valid. As long as it meets state requirements, it can still be admitted to probate.

So why do some families still add a notary? For convenience. A self-proving affidavit (not the will itself) can speed things up in probate.

# data[].attributes.body
A loved one's severe mental illness can make it impossible for them to handle life's necessities.

⚖️ North Carolina's court system offers a guardianship process to appoint a person to make decisions for them, from medical care to financial matters.

This article provides a clear roadmap of the legal process, addresses common concerns, and explains how the law is structured to protect the individual's best interests.

# data[].attributes.body
The type of trust you choose depends on your objectives.

With a revocable trust, you can manage the assets and make changes freely, but the trust's assets are still subject to estate taxes.

An irrevocable trust offers more robust asset protection and potential tax savings, as you surrender control over the assets once the trust is created.

To determine the best fit for your needs, let's explore your options together.
