Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning
We know these decisions can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to some of the most common questions people ask when they’re considering getting their will, POA, or health care documents in order.
What’s included in a basic estate plan?
A basic estate plan typically includes three essential documents: a will, a durable power of attorney, and a health care directive (sometimes split into a health care power of attorney and a living will). These documents give your loved ones clear direction and legal authority to act on your behalf if needed.
Call 910-582-4680 now to find out what documents are right for your situation and goals.
Do I need a will even if I don’t own much?
Yes. A will isn’t just for people with large estates. It’s about making sure what you do have—money, personal items, or even just your wishes—are respected. Without a will, the state decides who gets what, which may not reflect what you want.
Call 910-582-4680 to speak with Mr. Crawford and make sure your will reflects your intentions.
What’s the difference between a health care directive and a power of attorney?
A power of attorney gives someone the legal authority to make financial or business decisions on your behalf. A health care directive allows someone to make medical decisions for you if you’re unable. Both are essential and serve different purposes in an emergency.
Call 910-582-4680 to learn how each document protects you and when they come into play.
Can I make changes to my estate plan later?
Yes. You can update your documents at any time, especially if your circumstances or preferences change. In fact, we recommend reviewing your plan every few years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
Call 910-582-4680 to ask how updates work and how often you should review your plan.
Is this service available if I live in South Carolina?
Yes. We provide estate planning services to residents of both North Carolina and South Carolina. Each state has its own requirements, and we tailor your documents to comply with your state’s laws, ensuring they’re fully valid.
Call 910-582-4680 now to schedule your appointment with Mr. Crawford and take the first step in protecting your wishes.
