We help Alabama families keep their homes, savings, and inheritance out of probate court and in the family, with one coordinated plan.
Most families don't find out what that means until the worst week of their lives.
Without a funded trust, your home and accounts can go through the court process before your family can touch them. That means months of waiting and legal fees.
Probate is a public process. What you owned and who received it can become part of the court record.
A will tells the court what you want. It doesn't keep your family out of court. Most people find that out too late.
Your legal plan and your money plan should work together, not against each other. We coordinate both so nothing falls through the cracks.
A complete plan that keeps your family out of court, and makes sure someone you trust can step in if you're ever unable to.

"Set thine house in order."
Isaiah 38:1I grew up right here in Florence, and for the last ten years I've helped families plan for the things nobody likes to talk about. I came up through an integrated advisory firm with forty years of experience, and I learned one thing early: the families who planned ahead had peace, and the families who didn't had court dates.
Salt & Light Financial exists to help families set their house in order: their health, their land, and their inheritance. We lead from a compassionate place, we explain things plainly, and we don't stop until your plan is actually finished.
Let's protect what God has entrusted to you.
A will tells the court what you want, but it still has to go through probate. A properly funded revocable living trust is designed to let your family skip that process for the assets in the trust. On your free call we'll look at what you have and whether it does what you think it does.
It depends on the estate, the county, and whether anyone disagrees. The real costs are usually time, legal fees, and stress on your family. We'll walk through what it could look like for your situation.
Yes. Many trusts are signed but never funded, which means the house or accounts were never moved into them. We can review where things stand and help you finish the job.
No. Your first call is by phone or video. Signing can be done in person in Florence, and we'll work out what's easiest for your family.
Legal fees are flat, with no hourly billing, and payment plans are available. The attorney quotes the exact fee before you commit to anything.
Yes. It's about 20 minutes, there's no obligation, and no pressure.
