Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an estate plan if I don't have a large estate?
Yes. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. A will ensures your wishes are followed, a healthcare surrogate ensures someone you trust can make medical decisions, and a power of attorney allows someone to handle your finances if you are incapacitated. Everyone benefits from having these documents in place.
How long does it take to create an estate plan in Charleston?
A basic estate plan — will, power of attorney, and healthcare surrogate — can often be completed within a few weeks. More complex plans involving trusts or business succession may take longer. After an initial consultation, Attorney Lemon will give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
