Ruth M. Allen - Attorney

Attorney Ruth M. Allen is another outstanding member of our rockstar team and brings many versatile years of legal experience having first worked as a Certified Legal Assistant for 15 years prior to pursuing her own law degree. She graduated from North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2005 and has been practicing law as an attorney ever since.

Her vast experience includes estate planning and probate, guardianship matters, and consumer advocacy. She frequently serves as a Guardian Ad Litem in Wake County and has worked part-time at Legal Aid of North Carolina. Ruth is proud to be a retired Commander in the United States Navy, having served for over 20 years in the Reserve Component.

Ruth has a passion for helping her clients navigate some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives. Whether she’s helping them plan their estate, assisting a loved one navigate the probate process, or helping a client through a difficult guardianship, she goes out of her way to explain the process in a way they can understand.

Estate Planning (learn more)

Planning, and communicating your desires, is an important step in crafting your estate documents. I can help you do that. Sometimes, time is of the essence. Your loved one is experiencing illness or injury. This is when they may need help planning their personal affairs the most. They may need to designate a healthcare agent, or appoint someone to handle their business matters while they are incapacitated. In those cases, we are able to assist. We will travel to the client, and furnish what they need in a short amount of time, generally the same day or next day. This includes going to their home, hospital, living facility or hospice. I find that this gives the client peace of mind, when they know that their affairs are settled, and plans are in place.

Guardianships (learn more)

Often our elders may need assistance, but not be in a position to be legally capable of making that determination. That is when guardianship is an option. I have a wealth of experience with guardianship, representing the prospective ward, and also representing the concerned family member or individual who needs to be able to legally assist their loved one. Guardianship is a process where a family member, or another person or agency, steps into the legal shoes of a person to help them with essential decisions.

we have been working with Walls Law for almost 10 years and have been thrilled by the professional service that is provided. Recently completed a restatement of our living trusts and have recommended Jason's services. Both of our sets of parents have engaged Jason to either create new estate document or restate older living trusts.Jason helps by asking questions that we need to discuss with vs just giving options.

Jason & his team at the Walls law group did a fabulous job of guiding us through the highly detailed and daunting task of organizing and recording our Family Living trust and wills. They were instrumental in giving us direction, knowledge and follow through with this need that we all must face at one point. It is a monumental task of getting everything together, but they really made it easy. Don't delay on this important step with your family, they can really help.

The Walls Law Group did not disappoint! I needed help with the probate of my mother's estate and Ashley delivered. Her attentiveness to my case was so refreshing because I had to part ways with a disinterested law firm early in the probate process. Her organizational skills, patience with all the heirs, and legal knowledge was spot on. She guided me through the whole process, easing all anxiety of fulfilling my mother's wishes.

Jason and his team have guided us through the maze of creating and funding our family trust. It is a vital planning estate tool for many families. I am appreciative of the support Jason and his team have provided along the way and after the trust was created. I am confident in the The Walls Law Group that my wishes are being met for my family in the best possible fashion.

We met Jason and his team in Spring of 2019 when we needed to update our wills, advanced directives and powers of attorney since our children were now adults. The experience was exceptional experience and worth the $300 or so we spent. Jason did not try to oversell us on what we did not need. His staff were courteous, knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend they also help me set up my LLC as well and provided great guidance to me. Jason and his team.
