Kellie Corbett chose the University of South Carolina for her undergraduate degree for two reasons: the pageantry of big-time college football and the fact she hates snow. She got the pageantry but it came with snow – a freak storm, 8” of the stuff, her freshman year.
There’s a lesson there but we’re not exactly sure what it is — yet.
Kellie was accepted at the University of North Carolina School of Law where she became the first law student in the history of American law schools (that dates back to 1793) to fall in love with Trusts and Estates while taking the class.
That was it, that class, that professor — she ended up interning for him for several semesters – and ‘hands-on’ experience with legal clinics in wills and advanced directives convinced Kellie she had found exactly what she wanted to do with the law upon graduating . . .
. . . And because Estate Planning presents an ever-challenging intellectual exercise that allows her to work with and help people every day — her perfect job description.
When Kellie’s not ‘lawyering’ she is, her words (and, truly, the title of a one day best seller) A Crazy Dog Mom. That would be to Max, her 90 pound Leonberger-mix rescue.
Kellie is also a baker, a runner, and a reader, not necessarily in that order. She is a true-crime aficionado (read:addict) as well as an historical fiction buff. Every once in a while, though — you can guess in what kind of weather – she’ll ‘spend a whole day binging a show on Netflix.’

People often get confused between Medicare and Medicaid, and it’s understandable, the names sound so similar.
Medicare is an entitlement program. You paid employment taxes while you were working, and at age 65 — it’s a program that essentially help you pay health insurance — it helps to pay for trips to the hospital or doctor’s office. So think of Medicare as healthcare. Medicare is generally short-term care.
Medicaid is a need-based program, and there are several different Medicaid programs out there, but the most common we talk about in our office is Medicaid assistance for nursing home care. That is long-term care in a nursing home.

We see a lot of common mistakes that people make in their estate planning — whether it is thinking it is a one and done type of thing so they might set up some planning and then go years and years without revisiting it. And then when the plan is actually needed, it is so outdated and stale that it really doesn’t work the way it was intended to.
Another common issue we see is that people will go through the trouble to set up an estate plan but then they don’t look at what they actually own and make sure their accounts and their beneficiary designations are really set up to properly interact with that plan. So at the end of the day, the plan actually doesn’t carry out the way they intended it to. That’s a really critical step that a lot of people miss.
The third thing I would say is that a lot of people really don’t understand a lot of protections they can incorporate into their planning. So it’s not just about what happens when you die, but there are some great protections that you can put in there for yourself or your family — things to make sure that you are properly cared for if you should have a health event and also things like leaving things to your spouse or children protected from things like future lawsuits, divorce, remarriage type of issues that come about.
