I would appreciate some help finding a lawyer in North Carolina / Asheboro/Greensboro area [View all]

to over the phone answer a question about wills. I just did the Google but lawyers scare me.
Last time I had one was 30 years ago at $250 an hour discounted rate.

For now I just need one question answered:

An elderly couple's residence and filed will is in West Virginia.
They sell their house and move to North Carolina and transfer all their funds to North Carolina banks.
One of the dies within a few weeks or months and they have not filed a new will in North Carolina as yet.
Will they be considered intestate?

Information my sister forwarded to me (she's in college taking classes that give her access to law info online,
something called WestlawNext.)
tells me they would. My sister insists the opposite but I'm sure she doesn't know what she is reading. She
keeps sending me stuff about people who are not domiciled in North Carolina but after they move, they WILL
be.

Thanks if anyone knows someone trustworthy to contact.
