I guide high net worth individuals and families through the complex legal and tax aspects of estate planning, probate and trust administration. After over 35 years of helping folks,  I like to say that I specialize in "peace of mind.". I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC and most of my family is in the area. I now split my time between Naples, FL and Chapel Hill, but remain a die hard Tar Heel fan! Personally, I enjoy traveling, the outdoors, reading history, and spending time with my rather large family!
