Bridges Law Firm

Guardianship
A health care power of attorney will not be effective if a court appoints a guardian to act on your behalf. However, you may indicate in the document your choice of guardian in the event guardianship proceedings are commenced.

Health Law

Personal Injury
While in law school, Jayme worked with the personal injury and bankruptcy firm of Grist & Brock in Macon. He spent a summer interning with the Halifax County District Attorneyâ€™s Office and a summer interning as a summer associate with Bass, Bryant & Fanney in Raleigh. Upon graduation from law school in 2001, Jayme returned to Raleigh for good by taking a fulltime job with the general practice firm of Bass, Bryant & Fanney. Jayme has since spent his legal career in the Wake County Courthouse and courtrooms trying cases, brokering plea agreements and interacting with prosecutors, judges, witnesses and other lawyers.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Again, estate planning is the process of thoughtfully and efficiently preparing for the financial consequences of your death. An estate plan can help ensure that your loved ones are properly provided for and minimize the tax consequences related to your death. Estate planning should begin with a discussion of your goals and a review of your assets and should involve the preparation of a will and maybe the creation of one or more trusts.
Wills
What Is The Purpose Of Living Wills? Modern advances in science and medicine have made possible the prolongation of the lives of many seriously ill individuals, without always offering realistic prospects for improvement or cure. For some individuals the possibility of extended life is experienced as meaningful and of benefit. For others, artificial prolongation of life may seem to provide nothing medically necessary or beneficial, serving only to extend suffering and prolong the dying process.
Trusts
Estate planning is the process by which an individual or family arranges the transfer of assets to intended beneficiaries. An estate plan aims to preserve the maximum amount of wealth possible for the intended beneficiaries and flexibility for the individual prior to death. A major concern for drafters of estate plans is federal and state tax laws. Wills and trusts are common estate planning tools in which individuals may dispose of their wealth.
Power of Attorney
What is a Living Will? A living will is a document which allows you to retain control over whether your life will be prolonged by certain medical procedures if you are diagnosed as being terminally and incurably ill or in a persistent vegetative state (i.e., a sustained complete loss of self-awareness). In North Carolina, this is called "A Declaration of a Desire for a Natural Death." A living will allows you to authorize the withholding of extraordinary means of keeping you alive (for example, respirator care) and may authorize the withholding or discontinuance of artificial nutrition of hydration. You may make different choices as the level of care to be withheld or discontinued depending whether your medical condition is terminal and incurable or you are in a persistent vegetative state. Alternatively, if you are capable of making health care decisions, you may do so by executing or acknowledging any instrument of revocation, executing a subsequent living will or health care power of attorney, or by any other manner by which you care able to communicate your intent to revoke. The revocation will become effective only upon communication to the attending physician and to each health care agent named if a health care power of attorney is to be revoked. These documents should be reviewed periodically, especially in the event of divorce, death or disability of a named agent, to ensure that they continue to reflect your desires about health care decisions.
Probate

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
What Happens When One Doesn't Draft A Will? One who dies without a will is said to have died "intestate." That person has no control over who receives their assets. Their assets are distributed by a formula established by the North Carolina General Assembly. One who dies intestate also loses the opportunity to appoint an executor, trustee, guardian for minor children, and to have in place valuable tax planning. The exact distribution will be dependant on whether one is married and the number of children involved, and the property of a intestate decedent passes according to North Carolina General Statute Â§ 29-14,-16. Below are a few variations on how the intestate statute could play out: If decedent is survived by a spouse, no lineal descendants, and no surviving parents: If the decedent left no child, no lineal descendant of a deceased child, and no parent, the surviving spouse will receive the entire estate, both real and personal property. If decedent is survived by a spouse, no lineal descendants, and surviving parents: The surviving spouse will receive one-half interest in the real property, and the first $50,000 of personal property, plus one-half interest in the remaining personal property. The surviving parents will receive one-half interest in the real property and the personal property in excess of $50,000. If decedent is survived by a spouse, one surviving child, and surviving parents: The surviving spouse will receive one-half interest in the real property and the first $30,000 of personal property, plus one-half interest in the remaining personal property. The surviving child will receive one-half interest in the real property and one-half interest in the personal property in excess of $30,000. The surviving parents will receive nothing. If decedent is survived by a spouse, two surviving children, and surviving parents: The surviving spouse will receive one-third interest in the real property and the first $30,000 of personal property, plus one-third interest in the remaining personal property. The surviving children will receive two-thirds interest in the real property and two-thirds interest in the personal property in excess of $30,000. The parents will again receive nothing.
