# Event Details - **Event Name**: Free Estate Planning Seminar - Downtown Mobile - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 12:30 pm – Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 01:30 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Free estate planning seminar in Mobile. Learn how wills, trusts, and probate actually work in Alabama. Lunch provided.About this EventYou have probably heard that you need an estate plan. But if someone asked you right now what that actually means, would you know what to say?Most people don't. And that is completely normal. Estate planning is one of those things that sounds like it belongs to someone older, wealthier, or further along in life. The truth is it is really about two things that apply to almost everyone.What happens to you if something goes wrong while you are still here. And what happens to the people you love when you are gone.If you were in an accident tomorrow and could not speak for yourself, who would make medical decisions for you? Who would have the legal authority to access your accounts or step in and handle things? Without a plan, those answers may belong to a court, not to you.And when you are gone, Alabama law decides who inherits what you have built if there is nothing in writing. It does not matter what you would have wanted. The state has a formula, and it follows it.This is a straightforward, one hour lunchtime conversation about how the system actually works. You'll leave with clear information to make informed decisions about your family and your future.Mark Eiland is an estate planning attorney here in Mobile. What makes his background a little different is that he has not only drafted these plans, he has administered them. He spent years managing a regional bank trust department, which means he has seen firsthand what works and what falls apart when a plan finally gets put to use.You'll leave with a clearer sense of what planning looks like for your situation and what steps make sense for you.What You Will Learn· What estate planning actually is and why it matters at every stage of life· What happens in Alabama if you die without a will· Who has the legal authority to make decisions for you if you become incapacitated· The difference between a will and a trust and when each one makes sense· Why beneficiary designations can override everything else in your plan· What most families get wrong and how to avoid itWho Should AttendThis seminar is relevant for anyone who has people they care about and something to protect. That is a wider group than most people realize.Whether you are just starting out, raising a family, running a business, navigating a second marriage, planning for retirement, or simply someone who has been meaning to get around to this, there is something here for you.You do not need to have a lot of assets. You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to be someone who wants to understand how the system works before life forces you to find out the hard way.If you have ever wondered what would actually happen to your family if something happened to you, this is a good place to start.About Mark EilandMark Eiland is the founder of Heircraft Planning, an estate planning law firm serving families across Alabama and the Gulf Coast.
