RALEIGH, N.C.—Womble Carlyle attorney Elizabeth Arias has been inducted as a Fellow in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC).

The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel is a professional association consisting of approximately 2,700 lawyers from throughout the United States. Fellows of the College are nominated by other Fellows in their geographic area and then are elected by the membership at large.
 
A lawyer cannot apply for membership in the College. Fellows are selected on the basis of professional reputation and ability in the fields of trusts and estates and on the basis of having made substantial contributions to these fields through lecturing, writing, teaching and bar activities.

Arias provides estate planning and tax advice to clients across the state of North Carolina on a wide variety of issues, including creation and administration of irrevocable trusts, estate and gift tax issues, formation of limited liability companies (LLCs) or family limited partnerships, succession planning for family businesses, and formation of charitable trusts and foundations. Arias also maintains an active fiduciary litigation practice. She practices in Womble Carlyle’s Raleigh office.
