Preparing for the future means making thoughtful decisions about your health, assets and the people you care about. Without a clear estate plan, those decisions could be left in the hands of the courts. Working with experienced Wake Forest estate planning attorneys can help ensure your wishes are followed and your family is not left guessing.
At Ellis Family Law, P.L.L.C., our North Carolina lawyers take the time to understand what matters to you. We serve individuals and families throughout Wake Forest and nearby communities with personalized estate planning services that are practical, compassionate and comprehensive. We are here to help you feel confident in your next steps, whether starting or updating an existing plan.
Every family has its set of values, concerns and priorities. Our job is to help you create a plan that addresses what matters most. We will walk you through important questions, such as:
We offer comprehensive planning services, including wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, advance directives and guardianship designations.
We are here to help you understand estate planning. These are some of the most asked questions on the issues:
Anyone who wants to decide how their belongings are handled, who cares for their children or who manages their health decisions should have a plan in place.
It is not about how much you own – it is about making your choices known and reducing confusion for your loved ones.
Dying without a will in North Carolina means the state uses a legal formula to divide your property. This is known as intestate succession.
It often does not reflect personal relationships or unique family situations. Your assets may go to relatives you did not intend, while others may be left out entirely. A custom estate plan lets you stay in control of your legacy.
Our board-certified specialists lead every case with strategy, care, and a commitment to your best outcome.

Thanks so much for your help, Ellis Law Firm. Grey and Eva did an incredible job during my divorce process. From the very first interview, Grey was very clear about all the options available to me and provided thoughtful ideas on how to resolve my divorce in the best interests of all parties involved. Eva guided me throughout the entire process with creative solutions and accurate calculations for equitable distribution. At first, I thought I was spending a lot of money, but two years later, I still consider it a great investment in both my mental and financial well-being.
