Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

I have a durable power of attorney chosen and an advance health care directive. Do I still need an executor to oversee my burial and disbursements of personal property? I have very little.

Thanks.

Durable powers of attorney are only people who are alive. Powers of attorney end at death. Yes, you still need a will naming a personal representative.

I do estate plans state wide. Please contact my office if you would like my assistance for a reasonable fee.
