“Estate planning and elder law chose me.”. That is my response when asked why I chose… a legal career in estate planning and elder law.. Although witty in my remarks, I have lived the majority of my life in an estate planning centric environment. Having lost my father at an early age when he died onboard the Challenger Space Shuttle during the explosion of 1986, then, later in life, becoming the (temporary) caretaker of mymother when she had to undergo an emergency craniotomy brain surgery, I have experienced first hand many of the matters involved with planning for incapacity and death. I understand the choices that families must make, the questions that arise and the great impact that proper planning or lack of planning can have on individuals and their loved ones. As a result, I have made it my life’s mission to turn my tragedy into triumph by using my experiences and insights to help individuals and families create and maintain a life of security and prosperity that will last for generations.. I am the Founder and Principal of the McNair Law Group, PLLC. I  practice exclusively in the areas of estate planning, elder law, and asset protection including: Wills and Trusts, Medicaid / Long-Term Care Planning, Special Needs Planning, and Probate and Trust Administration.. I excel at guiding her clients through the complicated and often confusing process of creating plans, which encompass balancing family protection, preserving wealth, and reflecting cherished family values.  My considerable legal proficiency includes, family protection, nursing home asset protection, wealth preservation, values-based planning, as well as planning strategies for unmarried couples, same-sex couples, divorced individuals, and persons with disabilities.  Whether you are married or single, with a traditional family or blended one, just starting out or looking back on a life well-lived, I will help you craft a plan that achieves your goals for yourself and your loved ones today and for generations to come..

I am a client-centered estate planning attorney committed to helping busy families create wills, trusts, and estate plans that reflect their goals and values, protect their families, preserve their wealth, and safeguard their legacies.. Having raised a family while managing a career, I understand how overwhelming life can be. Between work, family responsibilities, and children's activities, it’s easy to put off important tasks—like making sure loved ones are protected in the event of incapacity or death. Many parents I meet have not prepared a will or legally named a guardian for their minor children. Some find it difficult to think about such an emotional topic, while others assume they don’t have an “estate” worth planning or that their families will naturally step in if needed.. As both a mother and an attorney, I understand the unique legal needs of families. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy; every parent needs a plan to ensure their wishes are followed and their children are protected. And I find great professional and personal satisfaction in helping parents gain peace of mind by creating estate plans that align with their values and priorities.. For more than 15 years, I have worked with clients virtually, making estate planning more convenient and accessible. My fully remote practice allows families to complete the process on their schedule without the need for in-person meetings. By maintaining a web-based firm, I can keep my overhead low and provide high-quality legal services at reasonable rates.. I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University, in Waco, Texas. This was followed by a law degree from South Texas College of Law Houston, where I graduated magna cum laude. While in law school, I was selected as a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, and the Order of the Lytae, an honorary fraternity that recognizes outstanding academic achievement. I have been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1994, and in North Carolina since 2020.
