He has been active within the Yadkin Valley Rotary Club since 2017. Those roles reflect a curiosity in public service work alongside his legal work.
In practice he balances client-dealing with work with organizational involvement. Day to day he meets with clients, drafts legal files, and coordinates with monetary and health care professionals to place plans into effect. He advocates for clients at proceedings when necessary and prepares the estate settlement work that follows a demise or incapacity.
Schrum continues to lead Evergreen Estate Planning & Elder Law in North Carolina, the place he practices elder law and estate planning and assists veterans and households with benefits and long-term care planning.
