Deb Rasmussen, owner of Rasmussen Law, PLLC, is an estate planning attorney in Apex, North
Carolina. Before entering the legal field, Deb was an entrepreneur for 15 years in the personal
publishing and scanning business and then worked as a Real Estate and Estate Planning paralegal
for Jonathan Richardson. It was her work as a paralegal that sparked her passion for estate
planning. After law school, Deb clerked for Chief Judge Donna Stroud of the North Carolina
Court of Appeals and then worked as an associate for Paul Stam, Stam Law Firm in Apex. Deb
knows what causes estate plans to fail (even expensive ones with pretty binders) and her estate
planning practice is intentionally designed to ensure that your estate plan works, keeping your
family out of court and out of conflict. Deb also knows that family wealth is much more than
your real estate, business, or personal property; it is also your family values, pictures, and stories.
When you work with Deb you will be prepared, protected, and remembered.
Deb graduated in Linguistics from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah with minors in
Chinese and Japanese, and from Campbell Law School in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is a
member of the North Carolina Bar Association and the J. Reuben Clark Legal Society. She and
her husband, Lars, love North Carolina and are the proud parents of four children. Deb enjoys
people, swimming, Asian food, karaoke, and AI.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
