Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Its called a trust. You still need a will, but a special will called a pourover will accompanies a trust.

Trusts are private documents and seldom get filed with the court unless there is some kind of litigation involving the trust.

Whether you need a trust or not depends on your assets and circumstances. Why do you want to keep the records private? Do you fear a possible will contest by a child or disgruntled relative?

Things can be done to minimize that, but if your assets justify it, then a revocable living trust may be the answer.

I live in the Raleigh area. While you are free to travel to my location, travel is really not necessary. I can consult with you on the phone or via email to discuss the options with you. I can prepare either trusts or wills, and any related documents, for a reasonable flat fee. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested in having a will or trust prepared..
