Welcoming Your Family Into Our Family Welcoming Your Family Into Our Family

When I was given the opportunity to share a bit about our estate planning law firm in South Charlotte, my mind went first to the ways we have tried to set ourselves apart from the pack: great communication, reasonable fixed fees, processes that keep us running on a tight schedule, and a heart for serving people. But the thought of filling these pages with selfadulation brought to mind the words of Rudyard Kipling in his poem “If–”, in which he admonishes his son, “. . . don’t look too good, nor talk too wise.”

So I decided instead to ask a client to share from her point of view the story of how we helped her and her husband Paul many years ago. At our first meeting, they told me Paul’s prognosis was to live only a few more months. My first child was due to be born in 22 days. The following events began to unfold a mere ten days after that meeting.

This is her story: When the emergency room nurse left the room, Paul softly said, “Call Zack.” Not being able to lift his head from the pillow, Paul explained to Zack that the trust documents had to be expedited because the cancer had been more aggressive than either of us had expected. Being a brilliant attorney himself, Paul knew the importance of immediately getting the documents executed.

We had only known Zack for a few weeks, so I had no idea how this young attorney would react to Paul’s request on a Saturday. But Paul trusted Zack from our very first meeting. Paul was extraordinarily intuitive. After our first meeting with Zack, Paul said that we should hire him as our estate attorney because Zack was a professional and highly intelligent person of integrity. Our subsequent interactions with Zack confirmed Paul’s initial assessment of him. However, what transpired after that amazed both of us.

Three days after the call from the E.R., Paul was admitted to a hospice center and was given days to live and an even shorter time to be able to communicate with us because of the pain

management drugs. It seemed impossible to me that he would no longer be able to share the thoughts of his genius mind.

That evening, Zack came to the hospice center with documents for Paul to sign. Zack looked different than what we had been used to seeing; he looked utterly exhausted with blood shot eyes. He immediately began to instruct us what to do. Despite pancreatic cancer ravaging his body, Paul’s legal mind was a sharp as ever, and he saw that Zack had done everything that he had asked.

When I walked him out to the lobby, Zack told me that he’d been awake for almost two days because his wife had just been through a traumatic 32-hour labor. Complications arose during the C-section surgery and there was a moment where he thought he was about to lose his wife and his child. But by the grace of God, they both lived. Despite having experienced the most traumatic event of his life, Zack had worked from the hospital to complete our planning. Shaken by what Zack told me, I began crying at the enormous sacrifice that Zack had made for Paul and me. I knew that he was a man like Paul: a man of faith with a servant heart.

Zack attended Paul’s funeral

Providence Wills and Trusts believes effective legal planning begins with building strong, personal relationships.

Owner: Providence Wills and Trusts

because he wanted to hear what was said about Paul to get to know him better. One of the first things that Zack told me was that everything would be settled within a few months because of Paul’s planning. I was shocked that it would be so quick. That timeline was in sharp contrast to the long and drawn out timelines I have seen other families experience.

Though years have passed, Zack and I have stayed in touch, and he has helped with other legal matters. I have recommended Providence Wills and Trusts with enthusiasm to countless friends. You can trust Zack and his team at Providence Wills and Trusts to help your family be better prepared for when you go through one of the most difficult life events a family can ever experience.
