Pints & Planning in Juneau

Estate planning conversations are easier when they don’t feel like a legal appointment.

That’s the idea behind Pints & Planning: a relaxed setting to get real answers about what happens to your house, your land, your business, and your family heirlooms if something happens to you. 

Attorney Liz Smith will explain what Alaska law says about inheritance, with or without a will, and how to avoid leaving your family in probate court for months or years.

Tea and Trusts in Juneau

What happens to your home, your savings, and everything you’ve worked for if something happens to you? The answer depends on whether you have a will, a trust, both, or neither, and most people don’t know the difference.
At Tea & Trusts, Attorney Liz Smith will walk you through what a will actually does, what a trust can offer beyond that, and how Alaska law decides who gets what when there’s no plan in place. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what your family needs and why.

Life & Legacy Planning Webinar

Who gets the house when you’re gone? 
What about the land, the business, or your family heirlooms?

Will they be able to access these things right away? Or will they be stuck in months or even years of waiting for the courts to grant them access through the probate process?

If you want to find out what Alaska law says about who gets claim to your assets with or without a will in place, join us for this free informational webinar.

Attorney Liz Smith will guide you through what really happens to everything you’ve worked for, the house, the land, the business, even the heirlooms with sentimental value, and how Alaska law decides who gets what when there’s no plan in place.

Life & Legacy Planning Presentation in Skagway

Rich or poor, you will leave a legacy: your money, your history, your values, your traditions. The question is whether you decide how it’s passed on, or the courts do it for you.

Join us for our Life & Legacy Planning Presentation with Attorney Liz Smith. You’ll learn the difference between a will, a trust, and a living will, what happens to your house, land, business, and heirlooms without a plan, and how to name someone to make medical and financial decisions if you ever can’t.

Have young children? We’ll also cover what could happen to them if something happens to you.

Will & Trusts Educational Presentation in Wrangell

Home. Savings. Everything you’ve worked for. What happens to it depends on one decision: will, trust, both, or neither.

At our Wills & Trusts Educational Presentation, Attorney Hannah Etengoff-Hoyt will walk you through what a will actually does, what a trust can offer beyond that, and how Alaska law decides who gets what when there’s no plan in place.

Most people put this off because it feels complicated. This presentation makes it simple, so you can stop guessing and start protecting what matters.

Estate Planning for Busy Parents

Back to school season is here. The backpacks are packed, the schedules are set, and your kids are back in the classroom. But here is one thing most parents have not checked off their list yet.

If something happened to you, who would take care of your kids the way you would? Are they local enough to step in right away?

Most parents have not named legal guardians yet, or they have made one of the six common mistakes that can leave their children unprotected, even after working with a lawyer.

Join us for this free webinar with estate planning attorney Gloria Jones on September 28th at 12:00pm. You will get clear, practical guidance on how to make sure your family is cared for by the people you trust, in the way you want.

You will learn how to avoid costly mistakes, choose the right guardians, and make sure your assets are immediately available to support your loved ones if something happens to you.

You will be guided through every step so you can feel confident knowing you have done the right thing for your family, no matter what happens.

Will & Trusts Educational Presentation in Fairbanks

Will, trust, or both? Most people aren’t sure, and that uncertainty can cost their families later.

Join Attorney Liz Smith for our Wills & Trusts Educational Presentation, where we break down the basics in plain English: what each document protects, what happens to your house, your savings, and your family without a plan, and how to decide what’s right for you.

You don’t need to be an expert to walk away with a plan. Just an hour of your time, and you’ll leave knowing exactly what your family needs.
