What this typically includes
A consultation, drafting the will, and guidance on signing it with the witnesses (and a self-proving affidavit) your state requires so it is valid. Powers of attorney and an advance directive are often included in a package; probate after death is separate.
North Carolina recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills, so a will entirely in your own handwriting can be valid even without witnesses — though an attorney-drafted, witnessed will is far less likely to be challenged.
Will attorneys in North Carolina usually charge a flat fee to draft a will, often bundled with powers of attorney and a health-care directive. North Carolina sets the signing and witnessing formalities that make a will valid, and these rules change, so confirm them locally.
