Last Wills & Simple Estate Planning

in North Carolina and South Carolina

Simple, Legally Valid Wills That Protect Your Wishes and Provide Clarity for Loved Ones

If you don’t yet have a will—or if the one you wrote years ago no longer reflects your life, you’re not alone. Many people delay this step, even though it can bring immediate peace of mind. 

The reality is: without a will, state law decides who inherits your assets and who handles your affairs, and that may not align with your wishes.

At Crawford Law Office, PC, we help individuals and families across North Carolina and South Carolina create legally sound last wills that clearly communicate their decisions.

What you get with our last will services:

    • A custom will that reflects your goals and complies with state law
    • Guidance for naming guardians, executors, and beneficiaries
    • Flat-rate pricing—no hourly surprises
    • Simple steps to ensure your documents are signed and legally enforceable

    Avoiding a Will Leaves the Hardest Decisions to Others

    Without a legally valid will, your loved ones may face a stressful court process during an already emotional time. NC and SC both follow intestacy laws, which distribute your property based on a strict legal formula, not based on your relationships or values.

    That means the wrong person could end up in charge of your estate, or someone you care about could be unintentionally left out.

    We help you avoid this by making the process of creating a will clear, direct, and easy to complete.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Creating a Will

    What happens if I die without a will?

    If you die without a will, your estate goes through intestate succession. That means the state determines who receives your property—often starting with a spouse or children, but not always in the way you’d expect. A judge will also decide who manages your estate.

    Call 910-582-4680 now to make sure your wishes—not the state’s formula—guide these decisions.

    Can I make changes to my will later?

    Yes. You can revise your will at any time. In fact, we recommend reviewing it after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. We can help you make updates quickly and legally.

    Call 910-582-4680 to discuss how to keep your will current as life changes.

    Do I need a will if I already have a power of attorney?

    Yes. A power of attorney ends at death—it can’t distribute your assets. Only a will (or a trust) determines how your property is handled after your death.

    Call 910-582-4680 to learn how a will and power of attorney work together.

    Does my will need to be notarized to be valid?

    No. In both NC and SC, a will does not need to be notarized to be legally valid—but a notarized “self-proving affidavit” can speed up the probate process. We’ll guide you through that step if you’d like to include it.

    Call 910-582-4680 to ensure your will is properly executed and enforceable.

    Can I use an online form instead of hiring a lawyer?

    Online forms often miss key state requirements—and you may not know until it’s too late. We create wills that comply with your state’s law and make sure your choices are clearly stated and legally protected.

    Call 910-582-4680 to get a will that’s done right the first time.

    Ready to Put Your Wishes in Writing?

    Still putting off that will because you don’t know where to start? You’re not alone. We’re here to help you take that first step.
