Planning for the future is one of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones. At Lavender Root Legal, we provide estate planning services in Buncombe County, North Carolina that are clear, compassionate, and affirming of all families.

Affirming Estate Planning Matters
Without a plan in place, important decisions may be left to the courts instead of your family or trusted loved ones. Estate planning provides clarity, reduces stress for your family, and ensures your voice is heard — even when you cannot speak for yourself.
As a queer-owned, inclusive Asheville law firm, Lavender Root Legal understands that modern and nontraditional families need estate planning that affirms their identities and honors their lives.
Every family’s needs are different, and we create plans that reflect your unique circumstances. Our services include:
Wills – Clearly state how your property and assets should be distributed.
Living Wills & Advance Directives – Document your healthcare choices so your wishes are respected.
Durable Powers of Attorney – Appoint a trusted person to make decisions if you are unable.
Healthcare Powers of Attorney – Ensure medical decisions reflect your values and chosen representatives.
Guardianship – Protect children or dependents by designating future guardians.
Name Changes in Estate Planning – Incorporating affirming legal name changes into long-term planning.
