Day Four: Wills, Milkshakes, and Automobiles

Thursday was the day that we came home to Chapel Hill, but we were scheduled to work during the morning as well.

The New Bern Team left the hotel around 9:00, and headed to Pamlico County - about 30 minutes away [Because we split up and came home right after our work day, I don't know how the Greenville Team's day went - hopefully one of them will help me out and post to the blog ...]. When we arrived at the senior center, its kind staff showed us to a large room in the back with some folding tables and chairs. Though a few people had signed up to be clients, we had to wait for an hour or so for anyone to show up. Luckily, there was a pile of yard sale items in our room for our browsing enjoyment. By noon, though, almost all of us had at least one client. My partner and I worked with a very nice elderly couple (the parents of one of the center's staff) who, because of a son's issues with the IRS, had some quite interesting questions about how their real property should be distributed. David and other LANC lawyers were, as always, very helpful in answering these questions.

While some of us had time to take our clients all the way through the execution of their documents, others left this step to the LANC lawyers so that we could hit the road before it got too late. We loaded up into a few separate vehicles and made the drive back to Chapel Hill (along the way, Melissa, Dan, Saurabh, and Jackson were introduced to a side of Evan that few have ever known ... ask him to tell you more about it).

Overall, a great trip and a really terrific spring break! Thank you, everyone, for the fun times and the unique experience. To the participants: I've left a lot of details out of this blog, so please post any anecdotes, photos, questions, thoughts, inside jokes, etc. that you'd like to add!
