Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

You draft a petition. You send to the judge and all beneficiaries. You schedule a hearing after the beneficiaries/heirs get a reasonable time to answer.

You are in way over your head. This is not something you do as a weekend do-it-yourself project. Before you turn this into an even bigger legal problem that is more costly to fix, I suggest that you contact a probate lawyer who practices in Carteret County. If you cannot find a suitable one, there is Huggard, Obiol & Blake in Raleigh.
