Putting Together The Right Sort Of Will

Many young adults mistakenly believe that they don’t need a will because they haven’t started families yet. Or, they are under the impression that wills are only helpful for those who have substantial assets or property to distribute to heirs or charitable causes.

At Tally & Tally, our experienced Fayetteville wills and trusts attorneys provide comprehensive estate planning representation to clients throughout Cumberland County. We believe that everyone should have a properly drafted will to help protect the loved ones they leave behind.

Why Having A Will Is So Important

In North Carolina, when an individual dies without leaving a will, his or her property must go through the strict, often costly, intestate process. Your probate administrator would be required to purchase a bond under state law, which is typically more expensive than the cost of a will. We urge you to take the time to consult with a qualified lawyer to discuss your wishes and record them in a properly drafted will.
