Estate Planning / Wills & Power of Attorney

Charlotte Estate Planning / Wills & Power of Attorneys

Everyone needs basic estate planning. No matter what size you assets may be, you need to make sure they will be distributed the way you intend. And you need to arrange basic health care directives to provide for you if you become incapacitated.

At Douglas K. Simmons & Associates, PLLC, our lawyers do basic estate planning for people throughout the Charlotte, North Carolina area, including Mecklenburg County, Cabarrus County, and Gaston County. We are not a large, intimidating law firm; we are a general practice firm that works closely with each client.

We can help you with any of the following:

• Wills: We charge a standard flat fee for will preparation, only charging extra fees for unusually complex wills.
• Health care powers of attorney, which authorizes someone to make health decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated
• Living wills, which determine the limits of what a doctor can do to keep you alive
• Powers of attorney, which specify who will make legal decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated
• Estate administration and probate, in which an estate is distributed after an owner's passing

There is no need to make a comprehensive list of all your assets before coming to our lawyers. Unless you want to give certain things to certain people in your will, you only need to have a vague idea about how you would like your assets distributed. And our attorneys will be happy to help you work through such issues, at no extra charge.

At Douglas K. Simmons & Associates, PLLC, we believe firmly in compassionate one-on-one service. We will never pressure you to get anything you do not need. Our lawyers will sit down with you, listen to your situation, and then carefully explain what we can do.
