Helping You Protect Your Nest
"Working with Kathleen and her team at O'Day Law Firm was amazing. They truly care about their clients and go out of the way to make the process easy. Highly recommend to anyone needing to update their estate plans, create or update their will to contact Kathleen and her team." ~ C. Humble
How Can We Serve You?
Kids Care Plan
Having a will or naming godparents is simply not enough to keep the North Carolina courts from making decisions about your children's care in the event of your incapacity or death.
Don't let the state of North Carolina decide who raises your children or handles the money you'll leave behind.
