Last Will and Testament
A North Carolina Last Will and Testament can be simple and easy. Your Last Will and Testament names your beneficiaries and designates who will handle your Estate Administration. Having a valid North Carolina Will allows you to have some control in your probate proceedings.
You may need to revise your Will as your life changes or your beneficiaries change. If you move to North Carolina from another state, you may need to update your Will.
Planning your estate is important, regardless of the size of your Estate. Having the right documents prepared by Irvine Law Firm will help your heirs to save money and avoid unnecessary stress.
