ESTATE PLANNING
We are proud to announce an exciting new chapter in our firm’s continued growth.
Marcellino & Tyson PLLC is now Marcellino Moore PLLC. The firm will be led by Matthew Marcellino and Jennifer Moore, alongside our newest equity partner, Clay Campbell.
This transition reflects the evolution of our firm and the strength of the team that has helped build it. While the name is changing, our mission remains the same: delivering practical legal solutions, strong advocacy, and trusted counsel when our clients need it most.
We are also pleased to share that Bryan Tyson will continue his involvement with the firm as Of Counsel. Bryan played a significant role in the firm’s development, and we are grateful that he will continue contributing his experience and perspective in this new role.
For our clients, this transition will feel seamless. You will continue to work with the same attorneys, the same staff, and the same dedicated team you know and trust. Our commitment to providing responsive service, thoughtful strategy, and effective representation remains unchanged.
With expanded leadership and a clear vision for the future, Marcellino Moore PLLC is positioned to serve our clients with even greater strength and stability in the years ahead.
We are grateful for the trust our clients place in us and look forward to continuing to serve you.
At Marcellino & Tyson, we believe that estate planning is about more than just documents — it’s about peace of mind. Whether you’re planning for your family’s future, protecting your assets, or navigating the responsibilities of administering a loved one’s estate, our experienced attorneys are here to provide compassionate guidance and comprehensive solutions.
We help individuals and families throughout North Carolina take control of their future with customized estate plans built around their goals, values, and unique life circumstances.
A well-drafted will or trust is the foundation of any effective estate plan. We work closely with clients to craft clear, legally sound documents that reflect your wishes, protect your loved ones, and minimize potential conflicts.
We assist with:
1). Last Will and Testament: Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and nominate guardians for minor children.
2). Revocable Living Trusts: Avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide ongoing management of your assets during life and after death.
3). Testamentary Trusts & Special Needs Trusts: Protect beneficiaries with long-term planning and structure.
4). Trust Administration Support: Guidance for trustees to manage responsibilities in accordance with legal and fiduciary duties.
Whether you need a simple will or a more complex trust arrangement, we help you make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
Life can be unpredictable — having powers of attorney in place ensures someone you trust can make important decisions if you’re unable to do so yourself. Unfortunately, insurers often prioritize profits over people. If your claim has been denied or underpaid, we can help.
We handle all stages of LTD and STD claims, including:
1). Durable Power of Attorney: Authorizes a trusted individual to manage your financial and legal affairs.
2). Health Care Power of Attorney: Designates someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
3). Living Will / Advance Directive: Communicates your preferences for life-sustaining medical treatment and end-of-life care.
We’ll help you create the legal tools you need to protect yourself and your family, no matter what the future holds.
Losing a loved one is hard. Navigating the legal responsibilities that follow shouldn’t be. If you’ve been named as an executor or administrator, we’re here to help you through every step of the estate administration process — with clarity, empathy, and legal know-how.
Our team assists with:
1). Probate court filings
2). Notifying heirs and creditors
3). Valuing and distributing assets
4). Resolving disputes and handling claims
5). Filing final tax returns and closing the estate
Whether the estate is straightforward or complex, our attorneys provide reliable support so you can focus on what matters most — honoring your loved one’s legacy.
It’s never too early — or too late — to take control of your future. Whether you need a first-time estate plan, want to update your existing documents, or need help administering a loved one’s estate, Marcellino & Tyson is here to help.
Let us help you protect what matters most — with care, clarity, and confidence.
