Will Attorney in Greensboro

Drafting & Modifying Wills

Drafting a will may not seem like a high priority to anyone with many years still ahead of them, but it’s never too early to establish a will or take other steps to ensure that your assets are managed the way you want them to be far into the future.

A little bit of time and effort now can save a lot of stress in the event of an unexpected accident or a sudden change in your health. Ultimately, it’s important to plan ahead so that you can ensure that your family remains happy and financially healthy during your life and long after. If you own property or a business, it’s reassuring to address how these may pass to the right people as well.

Services We Offer

Roupas Law Firm, PLLC in Greensboro can help you make decisions that are right for you and your family. With a lawyer’s assistance, it is imperative that you properly prepare the necessary documents to help protect your future and your family’s.

We have helped clients with a wide range of services in drafting wills and other documents, including:

• Wills and estate planning services: A last will and testament identifies your intended beneficiaries and provides instructions for distributing property after your death. North Carolina law requires an attested written will to be signed by the testator and witnessed by at least two competent witnesses according to specific statutory requirements.
• Pour-over wills: Commonly used alongside a trust-based plan, a pour-over will addresses assets that were not transferred to the trust during the testator’s lifetime, subject to applicable North Carolina law.
• Living wills: Also called an advance directive for a natural death, a living will addresses certain end-of-life treatment decisions when you cannot communicate your wishes.
• Life insurance trusts
• Probate administration: Probate is the legal process through which a will may be admitted and an estate administered after death, handled through the clerk of superior court with jurisdiction over the estate.
• Establishing health care and durable powers of attorney: A health care power of attorney designates an agent to make health care decisions when you cannot do so. A durable power of attorney addresses authority over financial or property matters and can continue during incapacity according to its terms and applicable North Carolina law.

The experienced attorneys at Roupas Law Firm, PLLC can provide careful preparation of your will. We regularly assist clients in Guilford, Alamance, Rockingham, Randolph, and Forsyth counties, and the entire state of North Carolina.
