Estate planning is an important step in preparing your legacy and ensuring your wishes are followed after you pass away. Estate planning is necessary and important in order to make sure your wishes are honored and that your family is taken care of after your death. You do not have to be a millionaire in order to need an estate plan.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 70 percent of Americans over the age of 65 will require some type of long-term care at some point in their lives. While some people will fund the cost of long term with insurance products or with personal funds, often people lack sufficient means to pay for the exorbitant cost of long-term care, and when the care needs become serious enough, will apply for Medicaid.
As people age, they face a unique set of legal issues involving the management of their care and finances. Elder Law is an area of legal practice that focuses on issues affecting Seniors. The attorneys at Hopler, Wilms & Hanna dedicate a large portion of their practice on providing comprehensive Elder Law Services to their clients.
Do you have unresolved matters with the settlement of your family estate? These issues can be emotionally draining and it is a good idea to consult with an Estate Litigation Attorney to consider how to resolve and settle the complaints. Over the years we have seen countless estate and trust disputes while witnessing the toll it can have on a family.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. I called the day before I had court for a speeding ticket. I forgot about the legal service I had through my insurance so I contacted them last minute. Despite this they were able to send me the needed info and represented me in court the following day and got everything cleared off of my record!

I worked primarily with Megan Shirley for my sister's arrangements. She is amazing! Whenever I had a question she was quick to respond and full of knowledge around the process. The whole process is overwhelming and she definitely made my life easier from start to finish. I really cannot thank Megan and the team at Hopler, Wilms, & Hanna for all the work they've done to close a meaningful chapter in my life.

What can I say? Hopler, Wilms, & Hanna PLLC jumped in the middle of an Estate case that had already lingered unnecessarily for 3 and 1/2 years, unscrambled the mess and got it completed closed in less than a year. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful in determining next steps and 'best' steps. I would recommend their services for whatever your needs. Megan, you rock. You were patient with us, our questions and numerous calls.

After my brother and I were suddenly faced with the difficult task of managing the affairs of our parents after they both were diagnosed with dementia and it had progressed to the place where they could no longer live independently. We sought the guidance of Adam Hopler, as a result of a reference from a family friend. Adam provided excellent advise and direction as we developed a plan for our parents' care. He advocated for Dad, Mom, my brother, and me, and in one particular instance took on a large financial institution when they were being unreasonably difficult. He made a very difficult and

I reached out to them for advice on a cross-state issue. I wanted to know if there's anything in NC law that would affect my situation. They told me to talk to an attorney from another state (the attorney told a staff person to relay this to me).... No other detail/rationale or confirmation of whether I should be worried about NC law for the matter or any answer/reference to NC law at all. I then asked my question again and the staff person answered my emails saying "I am not an attorney so I can't give legal advice".... Ok, great, people reach out to a law firm for legal advice

I receive a great service from this firm and will recommend them to all my family and friends. They handled all the details of my traffic violation issues, and I did not have to drive from Richmond, VA back to Johnston County Courts system to appear before a judge. They took a bad situation for me and turned around with no stress for me.
I truly want to thank Samantha Duncan and the firm!!!

I was beginning to lose hope in all attorneys, wondering how on earth any of them stayed in business. Peter is the real deal. I am thoroughly impressed with his services. One of the most essential qualities you need to run a business is communication and integrity. He not only replies to your emails and has a human answering the phone, he actually… does what he says he is going to do, and get this!!! In a timely manner. I tried 4 other business lawyers before contacting him. I can't even begin to tell you the frustration. Peter has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I am so glad he came

I hired Hopler, Wilms, and Hanna right before my Dads death. I knew absolutely nothing about the law part of people living or peoples death. Chris Wilms took me through the entire process of what legality had… to be done while my Dad was living and what to do after my Dad died. It was really hard for me going through this process and Chris and his staff were so calming, so sweet, so smart on what had to be done and how to do it. Every time i went into the office, I was treated with such VIP treatment and so well taken of. Always felt like I was in good hands and always felt like i could

The law firm of Hopler, Wilms and Hanna, PLLC is outstanding! The care and attention that Adam Hopler gives to each and every one of his clients goes above and beyond the norm. His goal is to make sure people have a plan to protect their loved ones in place before it's needed. I would definitely recommend the services of Hopler, Wilms & Hanna to everyone I know.

We contacted this firm through Yelp when we were looking for estate planning. Chris Wilms was not only the first response I received, but the most thorough and accommodating of my questions. He wasn't afraid to address my questions and give me ball park pricing without forcing me to get on the phone first, which factored into why we chose him. No one has time to get on the phone with 10 firms and interview them. Whether and how a person takes the time to respond to your inquiry says a lot!! We did in fact choose to work with Chris and our entire experience was top notch. He is very thorough

I always look at cost, value, customer service and trust when choosing a business to work with. Hopler and Wilms have always exceed my expectations with their intelligence, integrity and humility. If you are looking for an attorney in the legal areas these guys (and gals) represent, look no further -- Hopler and Wilms.
