What You'll Walk Away Knowing
In this free workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Avoid having your family dragged through expensive probate court — and understand why "we have a will" often isn't enough in St. George and Washington County.
- Set up simple legal tools that keep your home and savings with the people you choose — not a judge, not a lawyer's billing clock, not the wrong relative.
- Know when a will is NOT enough and when a trust actually makes sense for your family — in plain English, without the sales pitch.
- Protect your family if you become disabled or can't make decisions yourself — the paperwork most St. George homeowners are missing.
- Beat the long-term care clock before an $8,000-a-month bill quietly drains what you spent 40 years building.
- Take one clear next step — so you leave the room with a plan, not more questions.

What Most St. George Families Get Wrong
The three quiet mistakes that send families to court.
Why A Simple Will Can Still Send Your Family To Court
A will doesn't avoid probate — it's a ticket into it. The judge, the lawyers, and 5–10% of your estate in fees all get involved before your family sees a dime.
How The Wrong Trust Can Still Create Headaches
Online trusts and 20-year-old plans often leave gaps big enough for probate to slip right through. The wrong structure can be almost as painful as no plan at all.
The Real Cost Of “We’ll Get Around To It Someday”
A plan set up in time protects almost everything. The same plan two months after a diagnosis protects almost nothing. Timing quietly decides the outcome.
Translation: waiting or doing the bare minimum is usually the most expensive choice.

From St. George Families
"We finally understood what we actually had."
We thought our will had us covered. Michael walked us through what would actually happen in probate court here in St. George — and we finally understood what we had. We left with a plan the same week and felt relieved for the first time in years.
Zero pressure, zero jargon. He answered every question my husband and I had been avoiding for a decade in one evening. It was simple and clear the whole way through.
My mom went through probate for 16 months. I don't want that for my kids. This workshop gave me the exact next step — honestly, we wish we'd done this sooner.
