A: No—most clients benefit from a Trust AND a Will to ensure all assets and minor children are protected. Think of a Will as a safety net to a Trust and a Guardian for minor children.

A: Yes! —making sure your plan still works for your needs and Alabama law.

A: McCartha Law is different because we are:

• Mission-driven: It is about Making Your Life Better. We protect families, businesses, and futures, grounded in the Christian principle of service (“do unto others as you would have done unto yourself”).
• Education/Empowerment-first: We teach, equip, and empower you—not just give you forms. Every consult is 1–2 hours of real insights and value.
• Local, Alabama-specific advice: National (online and DIY) documents don’t always work here. We explain the law as it applies to you.

A: In Alabama, DIY, online, and AI Wills often fail because they don’t meet strict legal requirements under Alabama law. We’ve seen these mistakes lead to family disputes, invalid Wills, and costly probate battles. An experienced Alabama estate planning attorney ensures your Will is valid, enforceable, and protects your loved ones.

A: It says in part in §43-8-137, Code of Alabama that: “If after executing a will the testator is divorced … the divorce revokes any disposition…of property made by the will to the former spouse, … and any nomination of the former spouse as executor, trustee, or guardian, [is treated as if] … the former spouse failed to survive the decedent….” But come see us for the rest of the story…there is nearly always more.

A: Because you want the confidence it is done right, with people you will know, who explain everything you don’t know in detail.  Or you can take your chances with bots, online services, and AI which are notoriously unreliable when it comes to Alabama Law.

A: Because a Nonprofit Corporation is too intricately intertwined between federal, tax, and state law to do correctly without a long history of experience.  Remember, when you do the 1023 application for a Nonprofit you are giving your testimony to the federal government under oath which is a serious thing to get right. That is why attorneys and accountants come to us to do their nonprofits.
