Sands Anderson Welcomes Trusts and Estates Attorney Julia Henry

DURHAM, N.C. (February 26, 2026) – Sands Anderson PC today announced Julia G. Henry has joined the firm's Durham office. Henry, who will be a core member of the firm's Trusts & Estates team, focuses on the design and administration of trusts and estates, including self-settled and third-party special needs and supplemental needs trusts. 

Her experience spans the full range of planning strategies, from basic wills and revocable trusts to more sophisticated structures including incapacity planning, and irrevocable, generation-skipping, and dynasty trusts. Her experience also includes irrevocable life insurance trusts, intentionally defective grantor trusts, qualified domestic trusts for non-citizen spouses, charitable planning vehicles, and family entities designed to reduce wealth transfer taxes and ease the administrative burden on future generations.

In addition to planning, Henry assists clients with modifying and decanting existing trusts to reflect changes in the law and evolving family needs. She also guides families through estate and trust administration following the loss of a loved one. 

“What stands out about Julia is how intentional she is with her clients,” said Jeff Geiger, president of Sands Anderson. “She has the technical skill to handle sophisticated trust and estates matters, but she also brings the patience and clarity families need when they are making important decisions or navigating difficult seasons. As we continue to invest in North Carolina, we are excited about the momentum her addition represents.”

Henry serves clients in both Virginia and North Carolina, representing a broad range of individuals from young professionals and entrepreneurs to high-net-worth families.

Henry received her juris doctor from Wake Forest University School of Law and her bachelor's degree from the College of William & Mary. Henry can be reached at jhenry@sandsanderson.com.
