@intrustlegal Exactly right. Probate isn't just expensive - it's public record. Anyone can look up what you owned and who got it. A trust keeps your family's business private.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

@KCTpartners Probate costs vary wildly by state. In NC, it's pretty straightforward if the estate qualifies for summary administration. But the real cost? Time. 6-12 months minimum. That's why families plan ahead with trusts.

@AFCU Digital tools are great for DIY planning, but complex estates need an attorney. Blended families, minor kids, real estate in multiple states - those need custom guidance, not templates.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

Your kids turned 18. Congrats! Now the hospital won't talk to you about them without a healthcare POA. Parents learn this the hard way every single day.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

@trustandwill @Spotify @LiquidDeath Love this. Your estate plan should reflect who you are. If that includes a carefully curated funeral playlist, absolutely add it.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

@trustandwill And make it clear. I've seen too many families torn apart because someone didn't spell out their wishes. Ambiguity creates conflict.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

@trustandwill @dianacabrices Estate planning as a growth lever is smart. Once advisors see how much clients value the peace of mind, it becomes a natural part of every conversation.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

@TycoonStoryCo @LegalZoom @TrustWallet Exactly right. The will vs trust distinction trips people up constantly. A will guarantees probate. A revocable living trust lets your family skip it entirely.

[Ryan Duffy @rduffyp]

Your will doesn't avoid probate. Your trust does. That's not a sales pitch, it's just how NC law works.

Check your beneficiary designations on:

- Retirement accounts
- Life insurance policies
- Investment or brokerage accounts
- Annuities
- CDs
- Employer benefits

If someone close to you passes away, here’s one of the most important things to know: Do not rush to pay their debts.

Even if the bills start rolling in. Even if it feels like the “right" thing to do.

Let's talk about it... 🧵

What happens if Bill and Hillary Clinton testify before the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation and say that they saw Donald Trump there?

@jennyrozelle @CarolWalshReal1 Thanks @jennyrozelle and @CarolWalshReal1 it's I do estate planning work remotely across NC and SC. Don't do elder law work as of now.
