One of the best ways to avoid expensive litigation or unreasonable financial or legal obligations is to make sure the terms of any contract you sign or partnership you create are absolutely clear to all concerned parties and under the law. Everyone, regardless of wealth or status, has an estate. Your estate encompasses assets and possessions that you call your own and that will need to go somewhere when you die.
We can help you with planning, administration and probate, and special family issues. Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, financial and emotional costs can accrue rapidly, no matter the inciting reason for the lawsuit. If you are being sued, there is no question: You will need strong legal representation. Separation and divorce are never easy, but with an agreement negotiated out of court, they can be less awful.
When filing suit is the best option, we offer strong representation and an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Asheville-based attorneys April M. Burt and Katherine Langley focus their practice in the areas of estate planning and administration, civil litigation, business, and divorce/family law.

I know these are often difficult topics with challenging decisions for individuals and families, especially for adult children of elderly parents, the terminally ill, or those in nontraditional families.
Newly legally married same-sex couples have special issues related to property ownership, inheritance, and adoption to consider.

At the family dinner table while I was growing up, we enjoyed vigorous argument and debate as much as the food.
Even as a child, I loved finding out all of the facts.
Going to law school seemed a natural choice.
After graduating, I immediately headed to New York to work for a large international law firm.
I learned a tremendous amount.
But something, or someone, was missing.
You.
And me.
I realized that I wanted to be collaborating with my clients, that all those facts, all the research, all the arguments, even the law, only made sense in how they could fill the needs and meet the interests of people - which requires time and attention and caring that are often lost in big settings.

Alice was just 13 when her dad, Rick, died.
Though she lived in Asheville with her mom, Jen, and he had lived in Weaverville, she'd been close with him and had always felt lucky that her parents were so amiable when it came to co-parenting.
Maybe it was because they'd never married and never had to go through all the.
What Is a "Collaborative Divorce"?
In North Carolina, a collaborative divorce is not exactly the same thing as an amicable divorce.

No one "must" have a will, but the consequences for your significant others after you are gone can be severe and costly without a will.
Without exception, having a will in place drastically reduces the potential costs of administering your estate.
The fees and costs associated with an estate administration will depend on the size of the estate and the nature of the assets and/or debts of the decedent.
In some cases, we can provide "unbundled" legal services at a significantly reduced rate to simply guide you through the process.
