Estate Planning
Settling an Estate in Durham County
Handling a loved one’s estate in Durham County? Probate filings go through the Clerk of Superior Court at the courthouse in downtown Durham. Our attorneys help you navigate the process — from qualifying as executor to final accounting — so you can settle the estate correctly and on time.
ProbateTrusts vs. Wills: What Actually Makes Sense for Your Family?
People hear “trust” and think it’s only for the wealthy. It’s not. If you own a home in Durham, have a 401(k), or want to keep your family out of probate court, a revocable living trust could be the right call. The difference between a will and a trust comes down to this: a will goes through court, a trust doesn’t. We’ll help you figure out which path fits your family during a free consultation.

Protect Yourself Now — Not Just After You’re Gone
Your estate plan isn’t finished until it covers what happens while you’re alive. A Financial Power of Attorney and Health Care Power of Attorney name the people who step in when you can’t make decisions. A Living Will spells out your medical preferences so your family isn’t left debating in a hospital hallway. These documents are part of every estate plan we build.

Is virtual estate planning just as thorough as meeting in person?
Yes. You get the same detailed consultation, document review, and personalized planning — the only difference is that it happens over a secure video call instead of in a physical office.
Where is the Durham County probate court?
The Durham County Clerk of Superior Court handles probate at the Durham County Courthouse, 201 E. Main Street, Durham, NC 27701
Do I really need an estate plan if I’m young and healthy?
Yes — especially if you own a home, have children, or have any savings. An estate plan isn’t about age. It’s about making sure your family knows exactly what to do if something unexpected happens.
