Heather Elizabeth Hazelwood

I can't get enough of Heather. My spouse and I went through the whole estate planning shebang with Heather, who made the process completely painless. When a recent change in circumstances arose, we made some edits to our wills and yet again, it was so easy. And then it happened again. The third time ...was even smoother than the first and second--she even made flowcharts so that we could visualize what our unique plans were! While these conversations and decisions are not easy, working with Heather sure is.

Heather was great to work with, provided really clear information on the estate planning process for someone totally new to it. She also makes efforts to use inclusive language in her materials which I really appreciated. She provided straightforward but detailed answers to questions throughout the p...rocess and I recommend working with her.

Heather made the wills for my boyfriend and I, and it was clear she really knew her stuff. But she still managed to make the process super simple and clear. All we had to do was fill out a pretty short intake form and then review the drafts she wrote up for us. Heather very helpfully color coded diff...erent sections to let us know which things were fairly standard and which things we needed to make sure got our wishes across. She was so patient at responding to my many, many questions. As a procrastinator, I really appreciated that she gave us deadlines to get things done. And at the same time, it was clear that she could be flexible if those deadlines didn't work. I completely trust that Heather put together the best documents for us (an unmarried couple), and I recommend her to all my friends.

I loved working with Heather on my will -- she's very approachable, patient, and really took the time to get to know me and what I needed (and all my hang-ups). I was (and am) in my early 40s when Heather helped me start getting my affairs in order. I wanted to be prepared for myself and for my fam...ily even though I'm in excellent health, etc. I was initially intimidated by all the information and what I thought was an extensive process but Heather was able to point me toward resources to help me make decisions, talked through the details, and also provided drafts that were focused and seemingly designed to help me ask further questions. Heather is also very good at managing her workflow and projects. I always knew when to expect the next iteration and what was expected of me as a client. For a type A person such as myself, this collaborative process was a dream.

We worked with Heather to update our estate planning documents. Heather was great to work with! She knew the NC law and guided us to build documents that would make it easy for our executor and associated people to follow our wishes and make their tasks "easier." She also helped us understand the... issues involved in naming people outside of NC in our estate documents. We would definitely work with her again.
