November 9, 2018 by John Potter

Charlotte living trust

When most people think of estate planning, their first thought is the last will and testament. However, the last will and testament is not the only option for estate planning, and it may not be the best option either.

John Potter has been a real pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a very simplistic manner so the average person can understand how/why the laws are written. He is very attentive and asks questions in such a way that not only helps him understand your goals, but also helps you think about what type of goals and expectations you should be considering. Exemplary client service.
