Carolina Estate Planning was was a seamless operation to help get our final wishes on paper in a complex family environment. We had a number of conversations which helped define our wants and needs and they put the entire plan into words on a paper. We had discussions which included going through diagrams to to discern exactly what we wanted visually, and then to transpose them into words and instructions. We think Carolina Family Estate Planning has a great organization and staff to help you plan, define, organize, and document your wishes in the event you are not there to speak for yourself. This is a very helpful exercise you should go through because the alternative of the State deciding where your estate should land is typically not what YOU want. Trust Carolina Family Estate Planing to represent you!
Review
We needed the services of Carolina Family Estate Planning at a very difficult time when my husband was diagnosed with a serious disease. His prognosis was dire and we had not completed our estate planning. This was a huge concern to him and a source of much anxiety and he was intent on completing the plan before his health declined further. The people at Carolina Family Estate Planning responded immediately and bent over backwards to help us create the plan that we needed. Everyone there was kind and generous with their time and talents. They answered every question we had with patience and treated us with the utmost compassion and professionalism. We were, and still are beyond satisfied. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Every year we have a meeting to review the details of the plan and I find this meeting to be invaluable. I have a confident feeling about the time when I will need to lean on Carolina Family Estate Planning staff again for advice, as our future continues to change and evolve.
Review

As a Professional Life Care Manager I help families navigate the complexity of aging care. Carolina Family Estate Planning has one of the most simplified legal documents that are perfect for our clients! I love how easy and clear their Living Will is with specific scenarios and very clearly presented with "Yes, No or added notes section". They make a complex document user friendly so all can fully understand and complete. Outstanding!
Review
The staff at Carolina Family Estate Planning treated me with a high degree of respect. Not only did they do the work of most estate attorneys, they went the extra mile to educate me on the process, every step of the way. Setting up my estate for my children ended up being simple and more straight forward than I expected. I should have done this years ago. Now my family's protected and I have so much more peace of mind.

I am biased in my opinion of Vance Parker because I've known him professionally and as a close friend for over 20 years. What I admire most about Vance is his intellect, his honesty and his integrity. I needed to have my NC Will updated and he and his associates did a fantastic job. What I thought would be a few pages, ended up as a series of documents covering critical issues I hadn't even considered. I recommend Parker Law highly to anyone in NC who wants to handle their estate issues wisely, thoroughly and with great care.
Review
I am happy to recommend Vance Parker to anyone needing elder law assistance. He is efficient and timely. I live outside the state of North Carolina yet he was able to assist and handle my property efficiently and was cooperative with my local attorney in completing my legal documents. Thank you to his firm for his excellent work.
Review
We had a very positive experience with this firm. They truly care about the elderly and meeting our needs. Because Mr. Parker works from his home, he can provide superior service at less cost!
Review
Vance Parker Law , They are very nice people and also very informative people to work with. They are very knowledgeable in the Guardianship and Special Needs Trust fields. Any questions i had they were able to answer them for me. If it hadn't been for Vance Parker Law, i don't think i would have been able to do what i did without them. For your Elder care needs, i would definitely give Vance a call. They know what they are talking about. Reasonably priced as well. Vance did what they said they would do and not many people follow through like Vance Parker Law did. I want to thank them for everything they did for me and my brother.
Review
I recently utilized the services of Vance Parker Law to draw up a revocable living trust, after the passing of my wife due to cancer.

I would highly recommend Vance Parker Law for any estate planning needs.

I hired Culp Elliott & Carpenter in march of 2015 to provide a wide range of services for my organization. They have provided us what i would consider white glove support no matter what the issue we have brought to them. As a multi-national start up we depend on knowledgeable partners to protect us and I can say without a doubt Culp Elliot & Carpenter's team is exactly what my organization was looking for. We have been fortunate to find their firm and I have great confidence in the counsel they have provided. I have, and will continue to, refer my peers to this firm for any number of services that they offer.
Review
I would not recommend this firm to handle your estate. The billing fees are very high and I personally was encouraged to pursue a lawsuit that proved no merit. If you are grieving and not of a clear mind, I would not trust this firm with the fate of your financial well being.
Review
This law firm is a winner and a keeper! I can personally attest that Culp Elliott & Carpenter provides their clients with a rare combination of both: (a) unsurpassed legal expertise, experience, and reputation; and (b) an approachable, down-to-earth, understandable, and respectful client relationship style, which values results over ego. As a former practicing attorney, I place an extremely high value on this hard-to-find blend of attributes and attitudes. So did my late father, an "old school," self-made, and unpretentious guy, whose mantra was "what's the bottom line" of an issue. He felt very fortunate in his career, and he wanted the fruits of his life's success to end up in the hands of his family and his community's charities, not with "Uncle Sam." With CEC's help, that's exactly what happened! Having been represented for decades by a number of Charlotte's largest and oldest "downtown" law firms, Dad wisely selected Culp Elliott & Carpenter over 20 years ago. CEC helped him, over time and through thoughtful, informed, forward-thinking, and adaptive planning and execution, to achieve his estate planning goals. After Dad's passing, CEC ably handled the administration of his estate. The process was managed extremely efficiently and effectively, despite numerous business, tax, and family complexities. And, the estate tax results were outstanding! This excellent relationship continues today, with CEC partner Paul Hattenauer handling both my and my wife's estate planning, as well as that of my adult children. Paul is blessed, in abundance, with both extraordinary legal and people skills. In addition to his vast breadth and depth of knowledge in highly complex matters, Paul is a great listener, a clear communicator, a strategic thinker, a practical and results-oriented practitioner, and a genuinely great guy. It is simply a pleasure to work with Paul Hattenauer. Despite the length of this review, I rarely write reviews. However, I would feel remiss if I did not HIGHLY recommend CEC to those in need of expertise and experience in sophisticated estate planning and administration of complex trusts and estates. Five stars, without a doubt! Scott Gorelick Charlotte, NC
Review
Culp Elliott & Carpenter has been our family's estate planning firm from the very start. Paul Hattenhauer, a partner at CEC, took the time to carefully listen to our family's planning needs, explain what our options were (including pros/cons), and then helped us design the various trust and ownership structures to serve those needs. And even though we are among the 'smallest' clients at CEC, Paul and his team have always made an obvious (and much appreciated) effort to ensure that we receive the same high-caliber services - at a very cost-effective rate. CEC is everything that a family would want/expect in their estate-planning firm. Our family will always be clients of CEC.

We worked with John Long on our estate planning needs, including detailed trust work. He brought to light things we did not even know we needed to consider. The process was easy, informative and educational. John also assisted in setting up an LLC - again explaining details and making it easy to navigate. Highly recommend John Long and Stewart Law - trusted advisors.

The Potter Law Firm was a great selection for my wife and I. We're retired, in our early 70's and are quite busy as well as technically challenged! The Potter Law firm bent over backwards to make everything easy for us, and they were quite patient at how long it took us to complete documents. John Potter has an easy and caring style and is meticulous and thorough. He was just what we needed. Donna and Robyn are extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with, also just what we needed. It's our pleasure to recommend The Potter Law Firm for any estate planning needs one may have. Joe and Marilyn George July, 2020
Review
The Potter Law firm has a group of caring people who are very helpful and responsive. John Potter has prepared our wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and helped with getting organized. Just completed his webinar yesterday on what updates are needed. The office staff is wonderful and similarly helpful. On a recent personal situation, John used his resources to connect me with a wonderful advisor who has similarly guided us to a virtual conclusion of the problem. Highly recommend!

It was great to work with Allen! He is very patient and takes care of details. Very quick feedback for questions we had. Everything was well organized. We would love to recommend Starrett Law Firm to friends!
Review
Allen was such a pleasure to work with. He made the process so smooth and explained the documents very well. He was also very patient with us but would also reach out periodically to check in before we finally completed the process. We would highly recommend him!
Review
Our experience with the Starrett Law Firm was excellent. The intake process was smooth and thorough. Plan development was very professional and responsive. The document signing ceremony was very responsible with masks and social distancing. Their offices are quite nice as well. This experience exceeded our expectations and was a great value.
Review
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with the Starrett Law Firm. I needed to redo my Trust documents after moving to North Carolina from another state. Because of Covid, everything had to be accomplished by phone and email. Allan Starrett responded to all my questions quickly and completely. I can definitely recommend him!
Review
Very pleased from start to finish process, as well as next steps information. Estate/will planning for our family to include our young adult children was a long process. Allen was very patient with all parties, guided us and thoroughly answered all of our questions. Everything was done remotely with the exception of signing. Signing day was very professional and fast. The waiting area was a relaxing environment. You demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and outstanding customer service. Thank you. Now I can relax knowing we have updated our plans and assisted our young adults in obtaining documents in case of an emergency.
