I have had several inquiries regarding this topic over the last few weeks, so I thought it important to pass on my words of wisdon! There is not a North Carolina statute which requires a testator (person making the Last Will and Testament) to be a resident of North Carolina to have a valid North Carolina Last Will and Testament. Under very extreme circumstances I recommend that one be done.

If you conduct the majority of your business in another state, and the majority of your assets are in another state that is where the primary probate of your estate will be. If you have any property in North Carolina, you can do what is called an Ancillary Estate.
