Protect Your Own Voice
Learn how naming your decision-maker in advance may keep that choice with the people you trust rather than a courtroom.
Who Decides When You Can’t?
Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Alabama’s New Law
If illness or injury ever leaves you unable to speak for yourself, someone will have to decide in your place — and if you haven’t said who, that choice may fall to a probate judge. Come listen as Brent explains, in plain language, how guardianship and conservatorship work in Alabama, what changes when the state’s new law takes effect on January 1, 2027, and how to name your own decision-maker before anyone needs one.

Come hear Brent explain complicated decisions clearly.
When you’re making a plan, it helps to work with someone who has seen these choices at every level. Brent has advised families with estates exceeding $1 billion and guided many others through complex, deeply personal planning decisions. That experience helps him give you clear, practical guidance.
Brent’s experience includes:
- What this means for you
He has seen how real disputes, wills, and guardianships play out in court, so he can help you avoid the problems that derail families.
- What this means for you
He has managed money and property for vulnerable people, so he knows how to build plans that protect you and the people who depend on you.
- What this means for you
He has handled estates for people who died without a plan, so he knows exactly what to prevent — and how to keep your family out of that situation.
- What this means for you
He understands how assets grow, move, and need to be protected.
- What this means for you
He helped criminalize elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, giving him insight into the risks families face and how to guard against them.
- What this means for you
He understands how real families make decisions, so he can help you create a plan that fits your life.
Brent looks forward to meeting you at the workshop — hearing what’s on your mind, answering your questions, and helping you feel comfortable and clear about what comes next.
