My name is Stephanie Irvine. I have assisted clients with estate planning for over 30 years. I am glad to offer phone, video or email consultations to assist with the details of your estate plan. If you only require a valid North Carolina document and instructions for proper signing, then our document preparation services may be all that you need.
No one likes to think about their death, but it is important to have a proper plan and confidence that your plan will be carried out. Estate planning is important for everyone, regardless of the size of your estate. A full estate plan includes your Last Will and Testament, Health Care Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney and Living Will. The Health Care Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney and Living Will are documents that direct your welfare and property management while you are living. For purposes of transferring your property to your heirs at your death, your Last Will and Testament is the backbone of your estate plan. Trusts that take effect during your lifetime or after your death can also be a part of an estate plan. In addition, Deeds can be used to direct how your property will pass at your death.

- Once I understand you needs, I will give you a fixed fee quote to prepare your documents. I will email you a link to pay by credit card.
- I will then prepare the document(s) and email them to you, generally within 72 hours of our receipt of payment and the necessary information.
- I will be glad to make any minor changes or correct spellings and descriptions. If major changes are requested, I will give you a new fee quote.
- I will include instructions for proper signing, witnessing and notarizing of your final estate planning documents. I will also advise you how to safeguard your documents and, if applicable, where and when to file the documents in the courthouse.
- If you want to email me a copy of the signed documents, I am glad to confirm that your execution of the documents complies with North Carolina law, at no additional charge.
The fixed fee quote for document preparation does not include legal advice. Estate Planning advice is sold separately. I am glad to provide you with a quote to answer your questions by email or to schedule a phone consultation.
I am available to help you make sure your documents are legally binding and your estate plan will achieve your desired result. Don’t leave your heirs with a messy estate administration. Failure to have adequate and proper documentation of your estate plan can cause your estate administration to be far more cumbersome and expensive. Do not leave your heirs with a burden.
