Delaney Law focuses on creating estate plans to protect families and businesses in Western North Carolina.

06/22/2026

If someone in your family has passed and you're not sure what policies existed, start here:

1. 𝗡𝗔𝗜𝗖 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: free, secure, searches participating insurers nationwide. Visit naic.org.
2. 𝗡𝗖 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 (nccash.com): North Carolina's unclaimed property database. Benefits turned over to the state sit here waiting to be claimed.
3. 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: look for recurring premium payments to insurance companies.
4. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: especially for jobs held 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Group coverage is the most commonly missed.

It costs nothing to look. It could find something that belongs to your family.

That number isn't from policies that weren't paid for. It's from policies that were, and then forgotten.

- Old employer coverage.
- Workplace benefits from jobs held decades ago.
- Small group policies nobody thought to write down.

The NAIC has a free Life Insurance Policy Locator that anyone can use. You need the deceased's Social Security number and a certified death certificate. It takes minutes.

Over half a million families have already found policies they didn't know existed.

If you've recently lost someone, or if you're doing your own planning, it's worth a search.

Last month we shared the story of a family who planned ahead: the will, the deed, the funeral home, the kitchen table conversations.

This month: the part of the story they saved for June. An old coworker called after the funeral. Almost as an afterthought, he mentioned a life insurance policy from decades ago. They looked it up. It was real. $7,500 from a job their dad held so long ago nobody had thought to mention it.

They were the careful ones. They still almost missed it.

New post this month. Link in bio.

"𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘸, 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥."

That's what planning ahead actually gives a family. Not just documents. Steadiness.

If you've been thinking about starting, now is as good a time as any. We begin with a free 15-minute call: no paperwork, no pressure, just a conversation about where you stand.

That's exactly what this work is supposed to feel like. Not a transaction. Not a stack of documents you file away and forget. A real plan, built around your real life, with someone who takes the time to think it all the way through with you.

If you've been putting it off, this is your nudge. The first step is a free 15-minute call. Link in bio to schedule.

If you've been putting off estate planning, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

1. Write a will, or update the one you have.
2. Set up a Durable Power of Attorney so someone can act on your behalf.
3. Complete a Healthcare Proxy so your medical wishes are documented.
4. Review every beneficiary designation on your retirement accounts and insurance.
5. Tell at least one person where everything is.

None of these require a large estate. All of them protect the people you love.

𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲, 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗡𝗖.

One of the most common things I hear: "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵." Here's what I know from working with families across Western North Carolina:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀. They're the ones where nobody wrote anything down. A will. A power of attorney. A healthcare proxy. A conversation.

That's not a wealthy person's checklist. That's for everyone. You don't need a trust fund. You need a plan.

05/04/2026

This month on the blog, a community member shares what that actually looked like: the will, the deed, the funeral home, the songs he picked out himself.

𝘔𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘯. 𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘭, 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘚𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵. 𝘛𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

It's one of the most honest accounts of pre-planning. Link in bio.

As spring settles into Western North Carolina, it’s a natural time to reflect on what we’ve built — and who we’re building it for.

Estate planning isn’t only about assets. It’s about removing uncertainty for the people you love most. An updated will, coordinated beneficiary designations, and current powers of attorney provide something invaluable during difficult moments: clarity.

If your life has changed, remarriage, growing children, retirement, new accounts, your estate plan should reflect that.

Clarity today becomes peace of mind tomorrow.

04/27/2026

When families share their experience working with our office, it reinforces what estate planning should feel like: steady, understandable, and aligned with your unique needs.

A well-crafted estate plan isn’t just paperwork. It’s clarity during uncertain moments and protection for the people you love most.

We’re grateful for every kind word and for the opportunity to serve our mountain community with thoughtful legal counsel.
