The Process

From first call to signed documents in 2–3 weeks

Three steps, no office visits, no surprises. Most families finish their entire estate plan in under a month.

1

Free Consultation

A 30-minute Zoom call to understand your family, your assets, and your goals. Ryan recommends the right plan and quotes a flat fee before you commit.

2

Documents Drafted

Ryan personally drafts your will, trust, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — compliant with NC or SC law and tailored to your specific situation.

3

Sign via RON

Review the documents together on Zoom and sign with a remote online notary in one hour. Legally valid in both Carolinas — no office visit required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with us

Specific legal questions about wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are answered on each service page. Below are the questions families ask most often about the firm itself.

No. The entire engagement is virtual — consultation, drafting, review, and signing are all done by Zoom and Remote Online Notarization. Both North Carolina and South Carolina recognize RON-signed estate planning documents as fully valid, so you never need to leave home.
Every engagement is priced at a flat fee disclosed before any work begins. A single will starts at one published rate; a complete plan with a trust, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives is a separate flat fee. See the full pricing page for current numbers — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Yes — Ryan is licensed by both the North Carolina State Bar and the South Carolina State Bar. He drafts plans for residents of either state, and is familiar with the differences between NC and SC probate, intestate, and trust law.
Most clients finish their entire plan in two to three weeks. The free consultation takes about thirty minutes, drafting typically takes seven to ten days, and signing is a single one-hour Zoom session with the remote notary.
Bring it to the consultation. Ryan will review what you have, flag anything that no longer works under current NC or SC law, and tell you honestly whether an update, a codicil, or a full restatement makes sense. Many out-of-state documents need only a refresh; some need to be rewritten.
Ryan personally drafts every plan. There are no paralegals, no associates, and no template-fill services. Every will, trust, and power of attorney is reviewed line by line for your specific family situation before you ever see a draft.
These are common situations and they are exactly the kind that template-based services get wrong. Blended families, out-of-state real estate, business interests, and special-needs beneficiaries all require deliberate drafting choices — which is what a flat-fee engagement with a licensed attorney is for.
Book a free 30-minute consultation. There is no pressure, no commitment, and no preparation required for the first call — Ryan listens to your situation, explains your options under NC or SC law, and quotes a flat fee. You decide if and when to move forward.
