What You'll Learn in 20 Minutes
Mistake 1: Trusting a will to avoid court
A will doesn't keep your family out of probate — it guarantees a judge is involved, and it can be contested.
Mistake 2: Leaving it to heirs instead of protecting it for them
What happens to an inheritance when it meets a divorce, a creditor, or inexperience with money.
Mistake 3: No plan for incapacity
If you can't sign or decide and no one holds legal authority, your family has to ask a court first.
Mistake 4: “Later”
The other three can be fixed this month. This one has a deadline you don't get to know in advance.
You'll also learn:
- How long probate really takes in Alabama and in Texas.
- Why the common workarounds — doing nothing, adding kids to your accounts, relying on life insurance — fall short.
- The four-step process our clients use instead, and what it costs (flat fee, quoted before you commit).
Finish the Class, Earn a Free Kickoff Meeting
Everyone who stays to the end earns a Master Class Graduate Kickoff Meeting — a private one-on-one Zoom call with our Client Services Director, at no charge.
You don't need to know whether you need a will or a trust. Just tell us what's going on in your family and what you own. By the end you'll know whether we're the right fit, what the process looks like, and what comes next.
It's not a sales call or legal advice. The booking link appears only at the end of the class — for graduates.
Is This Class for You?
Yes, if you…
- ✓ Live in Alabama or Texas and own a home, land, or a business
- ✓ Have no plan yet — or a will you're not sure about
- ✓ Have an aging or ill parent and see hard decisions coming
- ✓ Inherited property shared with several relatives
- ✓ Went through someone else's probate and want to spare your family
Probably not, if you…
- ✗ Need federal estate tax strategy for a nine-figure estate
- ✗ Want documents to sign today without understanding them
- ✗ Already have a current, funded trust you reviewed recently
- ✗ Live outside Alabama and Texas (you're welcome to watch, but we can only advise in those states)
Your Instructor: Attorney Gregory Robinson
Before practicing law, Greg served as an Army officer with the 1st Cavalry Division, where he learned that a plan nobody understands is not a plan. He holds a law degree from Mitchell Hamline and an MBA from Rice, and he's a Lean Six Sigma expert — so he builds estate plans as processes that keep working after the documents are signed.
Today he helps families and business owners across Alabama and Texas with estate planning, probate, and business law, and hosts Roots & Rights: Securing Tomorrow, a weekly podcast on these questions. The firm is a member of WealthCounsel.
Watching from Texas? Hector W.D. Faulk, the firm's Executive Vice President, is a Texas-licensed estate planning attorney serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area — same process, same standards.
“As a couple in our 60s with no children, I'm ashamed to admit that we had no wills or any other legal documents in place… He and his staff made the process seamless and provided the support we needed along the way.”
— Wood Family
“Attorney Robinson was efficient and prompt with processing my Living Will and Trust. He answered all my questions… I was well pleased with everything that was done.”
— Geraldine Welch
