A MESSAGE FROM BELL, DAVIS & PITT

The Crucial Need for a Will

Did you know that if you die without a will, then North Carolina law specifies who gets your assets? Having a will is essential, regardless of your stage of life. We asked experts Travis and John from Bell, Davis & Pitt to explain why. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Any Age: A will lets loved ones easily manage your assets and ensures they're distributed according to your wishes.

  • 20s and 30s, With Young Kids: Naming a guardian helps avoid uncertainty about who would care for your children.

  • 40s and 50s: Consider setting up a trust if you don’t want your children to receive their inheritance all at once.

  • 60s and Up: Designating a power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney helps protect you if you’re unable to make decisions.
