Ruth M. Allen
Zealous and Empathetic Advocacy
Now at a new law firm, I continue working with families to develop estate planning documents to provide peace of mind, and also help families with estate administration (probate) after a loved one has passed.
I also have a wealth of experience with guardianships, having served as a Guardian ad Litem for Wake County guardianship hearings for over six years. I welcome the opportunity to assist my clients with the difficult process of having a guardian appointed for their loved one.
An exciting new area of practice is surplus funds, where we help clients recapture funds resulting from foreclosure of real property where there is money left over for heirs/former owners to claim.
