Guide to Estate Planning in Raleigh

We’re Here to Help

“Who needs an estate plan?” — it’s a question we hear often when working with families in our area. The answer, quite simply, is everyone.

Without a proper plan in place, the state will decide who receives your assets and when and how they’ll receive them. The state will also decide who has the authority to make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Finally, without a plan, your loved ones will be forced to make difficult decisions without guidance when they would be otherwise grieving.

The stakes are obviously high, and you can’t afford to be caught without a plan in place. That’s why our firm decided to make available our free “Estate Planning Basics” report.

It’s full of no-nonsense, actionable strategies and tips that you can use to take control of your legacy and your family’s future. And the best part? It’s absolutely free! Just complete the form and we’ll pass it along instantly via e-mail.

    “Plan for the unexpected!”

    It's crucial for everyone, especially those with dependents, to have a will. Planning isn't just for the likely events, but for the unexpected ones.

    “Lars is great!”
    Lars is great - he walked us through the process and made sure that we understood each step. He helped create new categories in the planning process that will ensure we provide our family a detailed outline of our wishes. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to start or continue their estate planning journey.

    My wife and I found working with Lars Kissling to be a productive and enlightening experience. His knowledge of estate planning is extensive. He patiently answered our questions and showed both concern and compassion about our own situation. We recommend Oak City Estate Planning. It is truly an investment in your family's future. I think Lars' services are needed by all, especially for families with small children or those with special needs. The end result is piece of mind going forward.
