About Abbey
Abbey Hudson earned her J.D. from Campbell Law School in 2021 after completing a B.A. at North Carolina State University in 2018. Her education placed her in the middle of a state legal community that values practical, client-centered work. She left law school prepared for the kinds of day-to-day challenges that come with advising families on long-term planning.
Hudson began building legal experience early. In 2019 she worked as a legal intern at Waters Law Group, PLLC, where she gained exposure to client intake, document drafting, and courtroom procedure. The following year she joined Carolina Family Estate Planning as a law clerk. That role led directly to a position as an estate planning and elder law lawyer at the same firm in 2021. The sequence shows a steady progression into estate and elder law practice.
Her practice centers on estate planning and elder law matters. She prepares wills and trusts, drafts powers of attorney and advance directives, and assists clients with guardianship and probate issues. Hudson also handles planning related to long-term care and public benefits, helping families weigh options for Medicaid and other support programs. Her work requires attention to detail and plainspoken explanations of complex rules.
Colleagues describe Hudson as methodical in her approach. She breaks down documents so clients understand their choices. She often works with financial advisors and accountants to coordinate tax and asset-transfer issues. That coordination is common in estates that involve business interests, retirement accounts, or multiple family members.
In the office she balances client meetings with the paperwork that underpins durable planning. Drafting documents and reviewing beneficiary designations takes up a large portion of her time. She also responds to calls about urgent elder law concerns, such as sudden incapacity or questions about eligibility for public benefits. Those moments require practical steps and clear next moves.
Hudson is licensed to practice in North Carolina and has built her practice at Carolina Family Estate Planning since completing law school. She handles a mix of straightforward estate plans and more complex elder law matters for individuals and families across the state. She now practices at Carolina Family Estate Planning, handling estate planning and elder law matters.
