Read what they have to say here.

“Paul & team were great to work with!”

They were always quick with their response times and did a great job explaining some of the 'legal jargon' to me and my husband in more understandable terms.

Hollie

“We had a great experience”

We had a great experience working with Paul Yokabitus and the team at Cary Estate Planning to set up our Will and Estate Plan. The process was clear and easy, and in the age of COVID, our signing session was very well done, easy, and safe.

Jon

“I would highly recommend Paul”

Paul and his team at Cary Estate Planning are fully committed to creating a personalized experience to develop thorough and comprehensive estate plans. They value their clients and go above and beyond to make sure that no details are missed. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to create an estate plan.

Puja

“Honest, professional approach...”

After attending one of Paul’s estate planning seminars, my husband and I knew we wanted Paul to assist us with our estate planning. His honest, professional approach to this necessary part of life put us at ease with the process. We will continue to recommend Paul and Cary Estate Planning.

Lee

“I strongly recommend Cary Estate Planning.”

I was referred to Paul by my Real Estate Attorney and I could not say enough about how exceptional the client service has been from everyone I spoke to. The communication is prompt and I feel like they really took the time to answer all my questions and set things up exactly as I wanted, but also recommended things to make it easier on my family down the line.

Marylin

What a relief to have a reputable company prepare our wills and all associated documents! Today, we signed all our completed documents assisted by three lovely young ladies. We were in and out in 30 minutes. These people clearly know what they are doing.

Janice

Paul is knowledgeable and attuned to individual needs and requirements. The entire team is also responsive and patient. I took my time with the process, but they were never pushy. I would recommend them.

Randolph

Excellent guidance, service and execution. I highly recommend Cary Estate Planning. They are thorough and help you create exactly what you need and only what you need.

Natalie

Thanks to the team at Cary Estate Planning for making a difficult subject as simple as possible. They offer tools (like videos and a newsletter) to explain each step of the process and the strategies involved in estate planning. The staff is efficient, friendly, and responsive! I absolutely endorse this firm for estate planning!

David

Very attentive group that works hard to thoroughly answer your questions and keep you on track for completing all the necessary items to achieve your goals. Everyone is so approachable and prompt communicators.

Keisha

Paul is a masterful attorney. He's very good at taking your intentions and defining that into a durable Trust and Will. Best of all he is as simple and plain-spoken as you like. Or as fast as intellectual as you may be. It's all about your your speed and your desired outcomes. Would strongly recommend this firm.

Tony

The Cary Estate Planning team will make sure that you have the information you need to be confident in your estate planning decisions. I learned so much from videos, a one-on-one in-person consultation, the website, emails, and a newsletter mailed the old fashioned way. The fee is very reasonable given the importance of estate planning. No matter the size or number of your assets, don't procrastinate like I did!

Tamara

The team of experts at Cary Estate Planning is very knowledgeable and professional. Communications are excellent. We would highly recommend them for something this important to get right.

Annette

We just finished signing our Estate Planning Documents. The experience and kindness shown by Cary Estate Planning made the overwhelming process a seamless and straightforward experience. We can rest easy knowing our family is taken care of.

Ginger

Cary Estate Planning is VERY knowledgeable in what is and is not expected of us in North Carolina. They know all about Special Needs Trusts and helped us understand what we needed for our son! They were patient, kind and personable with us in our planning needs and answered all of our questions! We HIGHLY recommend them to everyone of all ages and of all needs/(dis) abilities!

Vicki

Our experience with Paul Yokabitus and his team was outstanding! Their YouTube videos and comprehensive website are incredibly informative. The team is exceptionally thorough, efficient, and professional-all while being far more affordable than the other estate planning firm in Cary. We wholeheartedly recommend Cary Estate Planning!

Elizabeth

Cary Estate Planning is amazing to work with. I am so glad we found Paul & his team to lead us in the process. Their patience & integrity is second to none! One of the favorites that I love about their firm is the online secure vault that is available to all clients. It's easy, secure access can be shared with loved ones, making information always quickly available.

Melody

Nobody wants to sit in front of strangers & discuss their life/death. From the first contact by phone, the receptionist at the very bright & clean office, the meeting with the lawyer & the finalization of all the paperwork. They guided me through every step so there was no mistake as to what needed to be done. It was quick & painless . I would highly recommend Cary Estate Planning to anyone.

Doris

From the start of estate planning presentation from Paul to the signing of our papers, everything was organized and simple to follow. All our questions about estate planning was answered and I feel comfortable knowing that our daughters can call Cary Estate Planning if something were to happen to us. Very professional staff. I can't give enough thumbs up.

Joe

Highly professional legal services which included step by step instructions to prepare us for signing our estate documents, then instructions to fund our trust. Has our strongest possible recommendation for estate legal planning services.

John

Cary Estate Planning has been an absolute pleasure to deal with since my first phone call. She was extremely friendly and welcoming. The Attorney who worked with me, Adam, was patient, kind, and answered All my dumb questions. He was friendly yet knowledgeable. Today I went in for my signing, and even Madeline, the Notary, and her two witnesses were friendly, efficient, and fun. Throughout the whole experience I felt taken care of while having a good time!
