How the Estate Planning Works

At Hopler, Wilms, & Hanna, we have found most people have certain estate planning needs. For that reason, our Sanford and Durham Estate Planning Attorneys will often compile our client’s necessary documents and offer a flat fee for a package of estate planning documents. These packages are meant to address the needs of the majority but leave a lot of room for accommodating varied family situations. We offer transparent and reasonable pricing for our services, as shown above on this page. Once we assess your needs, we’ll direct you to the solution that best fits your situation. Our attorneys regularly practice in this area of law and are skilled at advising clients on what they may need.

There is a typical package of documents that we include for nearly every client. This package of documents includes all the fundamentals to help people with essential estate planning needs, and includes a North Carolina Will, Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, and Living Will. Peoples’ needs vary, so you are free to pick and choose from this package as you wish, but we will review all your options with you so you can make an informed decision about your needs. Once you have made a selection, we will draft all the necessary documents and have you come into our office to execute. You may also need additional documents, such as deeds, trusts, or other custom estate planning tools. Those fees are quoted at the time of consultation and are based on the expertise involved and the time we expect to spend on the matter.
