Wills
Robbins Law Firm is centrally located in Cornelius, North Carolina and we serve clients throughout the Lake Norman area. We welcome loved ones and executors or administrators named in a Last Will and Testament to contact us for assistance. If your family member died or had property in North Carolina and you live elsewhere, we will work to limit your need to travel here as much as possible.
Trusts
Unless the decedent had a living trust and all assets were retitled to the trust (we go over what this means when we talk with you), in most cases you will need to go through the county probate clerk to gain access to the deceased person’s assets and administer their estate.
Power of Attorney
Durable Power of Attorney - With the number of cases of hospitalizations and quarantines rising, you should have a person legally appointed to manage your financial matters (pay your bills, file your taxes, apply for benefits, and more) in the event you cannot do it yourself. This is accomplished with a document called a Durable Power of Attorney. Many people believe that any family member can step in if they become incapacitated, and this is simply not true. Only a person you have effectively authorized to manage your financial matters can act on your behalf without a court order. Moreover, unless you name the person you want to manage your financial matters, the court may name someone you would have never selected yourself. Every adult, including college-aged children, need to have a financial power of attorney during this crisis.
