Elder Law & Life Care Planning Center

After settling in from an out-of-state relocation, we determined the time and situation was right to update our Will. On-line research into lawyers in our area presented us with an option we had not considered - that being "estate planning". We thought an update of our will would be sufficient. However, after researching firms that advertised their expertise in "estate planning", we opted to look into that a little bit further. All or our research kept pointing us in the direction of Elder Law & Life Care Planning. Very positive reviews and a very informative biography of Helayne convinced us this was more than a firm that simply did estate planning but was a firm that was a very "committed" to estate planning and did so on very personal basis. We set-up an appointment with the intent of

My testimonial: When we realized our estate plans hadn’t been updated in 5 years, I did some research and was impressed by Helayne’s credentials and outreach to the community. She validated my evaluation in our first meeting:direct, all-encompassing, thoughtful and sensitive.

Just completed our estate planning with Elder Law Life Care Planning Center. The estate plan process was very detailed and thorough. Helayne Levy Payne and her staff were very attentive and responsive to our requests. The process was pleasant and included insuring our assets were properly titled.

When we moved from Connecticut to North Carolina, we met with a local attorney to update our wills and advanced directives to meet the NC legal requirements. A few years later we attended a seminar by Helayne. After listening to her explanation, it became apparent that we needed a much more in-depth plan to secure our assets as we age.

She explained everything in language that we as non-attorneys could understand. And outlined a plan specifically tailored for our circumstances. As we worked through the process with her she made sure we understood what was nee
