Real Estate Transactions
The Law Office of Alan Caudell handles more than 100 closings per year, primarily for the city of Galax, Carroll County and Grayson County. We work collaboratively to protect you and to complete your closing in a timely fashion.

Estate planning often includes plans for lifetime gifts of money or property, including deeds of real estate to children or grandchildren. Mature consideration of the potential benefits, risks and effects of such gifts is recommended before deciding whether such gifts may be advisable under your particular circumstances. If you wish to make such gifts, we can help you with the preparation, execution, and recording, when necessary, of the deeds or other transfer instruments.
Wills
A last will and testament is something most people need, but many do not have. For more than a quarter century, we have been helping families protect their assets and prepare properly to transfer those assets without burdening their families. We are skilled and experienced in setting up a variety of planning instruments.
Trusts
We are able to evaluate your circumstances and your probable estate to help you decide whether a living trust or revocable trust may be useful in planning your estate. If a living trust is warranted, we are able to draft the necessary documents.
Power of Attorney
Your estate planning should in most cases include appointment of a trusted individual by power of attorney to handle business for your benefit in the event of your incompetence or disability. We can assist with preparation of a power of attorney at a very reasonable cost.
