When a loved one passes away without a clear, proactive estate plan, their assets often end up trapped in probate court, and that process can be lengthy, public, and unnecessarily costly for grieving families.

Many people believe a simple Will completely avoids court oversight, but under Georgia law, a Will actually serves as instructions for the probate court. Join Attorney Shannon Pawley, Owner & CEO at The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, for an essential educational seminar where we will pull back the curtain on Probate: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. You will learn how the probate process works, common traps that stall asset distribution, and how structured legal tools can keep your estate private and out of court entirely.

📅 Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2026

A plan that looks complete in a binder may still fail when you test who can actually act tomorrow.

Give your estate plan a 30-minute stress test.

Ask who can handle your finances, who can make health care decisions, who serves as backup, whether account titles and beneficiary forms match the plan, and whether the right people can find the current documents. A “no” or “I’m not sure” identifies a gap before a crisis forces an answer.

Estate planning should create usable authority and clear instructions—not just a binder. Set a timer and test your current plan. If you find a gap, request a complimentary 15-minute strategy session below.
