About this Event
Estate planning is one of those things most people know they need and keep putting off.
What changes everything is understanding what is actually at stake. Not just for your family when you are gone, but for you right now. A clear plan means someone you trust has the authority to step in if you are ever unable to make decisions. It means your family is not left guessing, not stuck in court, and not navigating a crisis without direction.
That peace of mind does not come from having a pile of documents. It comes from making the right decisions in advance and knowing the people you care about are protected.
This seminar walks through how estate planning works in Alabama, what the legal system does when no plan is in place, and how the right tools give you control over outcomes that matter. Mark Eiland keeps it clear, practical, and grounded in real-life situations.
Understanding the system is the first step. This seminar is where that starts.
Lunch is provided. Seating is limited. Reserve your spot today.
