Thank you for visiting the website of the law offices of Richard A. Horgan, Esq. Dick Horgan is an estate and trust attorney practicing in Wilmington, NC whose mission is to provide North Carolina residents with high quality, personalized estate planning services at very competitive rates. In addition to estate planning, his practice concentrates on business formation and asset protection for professionals.
Dick is admitted to practice in New York, California, Connecticut and Florida, as well as North Carolina. He brings more than 37 years of experience to his clients to assist them with their most important matters. Mr. Horgan's typical estate planning client is an individual or married couple who have relocated to the Wilmington area and have either retired or are contemplating retirement in several years.
Most of these clients have spent their entire working career focusing on "offense", that is, working to accumulate wealth, but have given little thought to learning how to play "defense", or planning how to protect what they have from creditors, income tax, estate tax and other potential threats.

What is a living trust?
A living trust is a formal written document that you sign that creates a new legal entity, "the trust", which you own and control while you are alive, and in the trust document you specify who is to be in charge of distributing your assets when you die (the "successor trustee"), and to whom your assets are to be distributed when you die.
It is called a "living trust" because it is in effect while you are alive, unlike trusts which are created in a will and take effect only when you die.
