The Auburn Raptor Center is amazing 🤍

The Auburn University Raptor Center reached a milestone that means so much to us:

We have now admitted more than 300 raptor patients for rehabilitation this year. For perspective, we treated 276 patients in 2025.

But we don't really think of them as numbers.

We think of the young hawk that arrived weak and hungry.
The owl with ocular trauma that needed surgery.
The eagle that came to us injured and poisoned by lead.
The patient that fought its way back to the wild.
And the ones we couldn't save, but whose lives still mattered.

Every patient represents hours of veterinary care, careful rehabilitation, cleaning and feeding, late nights, hard decisions, and a team of people who believe that every life is worth fighting for.

It also represents you. The people who notice an injured bird and make the call. The volunteers who give their time. The veterinarians and partners who help us provide care. The students who learn from these remarkable animals. The donors who make this work possible. And everyone who believes that Alabama's raptors deserve a second chance.

300 patients...and still counting. Here's to every feathered life that has passed through our doors and to the wild places they're going back to. 🦅

Didn’t grab any pictures, but I was so honored to spend the morning at Auburn Christ Methodist! I enjoyed spending time with some of the members this morning and getting to present on estate planning!

I couldn’t help but feel so inspired by several men dressed in full firefighter suits climbing the stair master this morning in honor of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

25 years later. We honor those Americans who served that day and those who lost their lives.♥️

First: War Eagle 🤍

I offer complementary advance healthcare directives and financial power of attorney documents as a part of all of my estate planning packages for my clients’ young adult children! This is also an opportunity for adult children, if desired, to be brought into the conversation and understand their parents’ estate plan.

These two documents specifically allow a young person to name a person to make decisions on their behalf if they become incapacitated. The advance healthcare directive can also ensure that the medical decisions that they want made upon their incapacity are made.

This was on my mind today as Auburn fills back up with the life of college students and football season in the SEC starts this week!

You made a will recently, that was the right move! It matters more than you know.
But here’s what most people don’t find out until it’s too late: making a will and protecting your family are not the same thing.
A will doesn’t update your beneficiary designations. Those forms can override your will completely. It doesn’t fund your trust. If your assets were never transferred into it, your estate still goes through probate. And a will does nothing if you’re incapacitated rather than deceased. That’s a completely different set of documents.
Most families discover these gaps at the worst possible moment.
This week’s article is the checklist for what comes next: what it takes to make sure the plan you signed is the plan your family can count on.

I had the privilege of speaking at two different events over the last week! Our office was a vendor at the Village Friends Health Fair and I had the opportunity to speak to Keller Williams agents at the Auburn office over lunch!

It’s so much fun to get to speak about what I do. I love getting to educate people on estate planning and what it can mean for their family.🤍

Thank you Village Friends and Keller Williams Realty International for having me!

My job is an estate planning attorney has helped me to reflect on all the things the seniors in our lives have done for us.🤍 But when you think about a loved one who has passed away, you probably don’t think about the material things they’ve left you, you just miss them.

That’s why I offer a unique service to clients called a Family Wealth Legacy Interview to help preserve your unique story for future generations. And if you have aging parents or grandparents, the Family Wealth Legacy Interview is a wonderful way to preserve their stories and create a cherished memory of their legacy for years to come. The Legacy Interview really reminds me that the work that I’m doing is bringing good to people’s lives, and so it is my favorite part of estate planning.

More about this process of preserving the memory of your aging, loved one in a meaningful way in this week’s article.
