Is your estate plan up to date, or is it something you handled years ago and haven't looked at since?

Join Mark Eiland this Thursday, August 20 at 12 pm at the Innovation Portal in Mobile for a free Estate Planning Basics seminar. Light lunch included.

We'll cover the questions people ask most: wills versus trusts, who has authority if something happens to you, and what happens if you don't have a plan in place.

Seats are limited, so reserve your spot soon.

Every August, Alabama families focus on dorm supplies and class schedules. Fewer realize something legal changes too.

In Alabama, the age of majority is 19, and once your child reaches it, your automatic authority to help with medical or financial matters goes away. Most families do not think about this until an accident or a hospital visit makes it urgent.

Our latest post walks through what that shift actually means and which documents can help. Read the full article: https://heircraftplanning.com/alabama-age-of-majority/

If something happened tomorrow and you couldn't speak for yourself, would your partner be allowed to make decisions on your behalf? It's a question worth sitting with, because the answer depends entirely on whether the right documents are in place.

Without a medical power of attorney, your doctors may not be able to take direction from anyone who isn't legally authorized to act for you, even a spouse or longtime partner. A comprehensive estate plan gives the people you trust the legal authority to step in when it matters most.

Nobody wants to spend their limited free time thinking about accidents, illness, or death. Between work, kids, aging parents, and everything else on your plate, it is an easy thing to keep putting off. But it is also one of those things that does not go away just because you avoid it.

That is exactly why we are hosting two free Estate Planning Basics seminars this month. The goal is to make an uncomfortable topic as easy and painless to understand as possible, in plain language, over a free meal, with no pressure to do anything afterward.

Thursday, August 20 at 12 pm, Innovation Portal, 358 St. Louis Street, Mobile, AL 36602 (lunch provided)

Wednesday, August 26 at 5:30 pm, Jerusalem Café, 5817 Old Shell Rd, Mobile, AL 36608 (dinner provided)

Open to anyone who wants clarity before making decisions.

Losing someone you love changes everything, and suddenly there are decisions and tasks you never expected to face.

We created this free guide, What to Do When a Loved One Passes Away: A Practical Guide, to walk through those first steps clearly. From the first hours to the legal and financial tasks that follow, it is meant to bring a little structure to an overwhelming time.

It is free to download, keep, or share with someone who might need it.

Estate planning terms get thrown around a lot: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiaries. But what do they actually mean for your situation, and how do they work together?

Thursday, August 20 at 12 pm, Innovation Portal, Mobile
Wednesday, August 26 at 5:30 pm, Jerusalem Café, Mobile

Both sessions include a meal and are open to anyone who wants clarity before making decisions.
