Back to School + Make a Will Month — Stop Guessing. Get It Done.

August 18th, 2026  |  Webinar

Backpacks: packed. Supply lists: checked. Carpool schedule: color-coded. But if something happened to you, does anyone know who would raise your kids — or where your family would even begin?

August is National Make-A-Will Month. Consider this your reminder to add one more thing to the back-to-school list — the one that actually protects your family.

School’s In. Is Your Will?  A Free Online Webinar

Log on. Get answers. No pop quizzes.

Most parents will spend hours this month organizing forms, schedules, and supplies to get their kids ready for a new school year. Far fewer have named a legal guardian, written a will, or put any plan in place for the people who depend on them most.

We want to change that.

School’s In. Is Your Will? is a free, no-pressure webinar built around a simple idea: if you can get your family ready for a new school year, you can get your family ready for the future. We’ll walk through what a will actually does, why so many families put it off, and the handful of steps that make the biggest difference.

No jargon. No sales pitch. Just clear answers to the questions most people don’t know to ask.

What We’ll Cover

Wills, Plainly Explained — What a will does, what it doesn’t, and why “I’ll get to it” leaves the state making decisions for you.

Who Raises Your Kids — How guardianship actually works in Florida, and why naming a guardian is the single most important step any parent can take.

Why Families Get Caught Off Guard — The common gaps that turn a simple plan into a stressful, expensive probate later.

What You Can Do This Month — Concrete steps you can take during Make-A-Will Month to finally get it done.

Your Questions, Answered — Bring whatever’s on your mind. This is a real conversation, not a lecture.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is for you if:

• You have school-age kids and have never named a legal guardian
• You’ve been meaning to make a will for years and never gotten around to it
• You have a will, but it’s outdated or you’re not sure it still holds up
• You have a home, savings, or a business and no plan in place
• You’re ready to stop guessing and finally get it done

Why We Do This

At Cochran Law Firm, P.L., we believe informed families make better decisions. Too often, people come to us after a loss with questions they wish they’d asked years earlier. This webinar is our way of making sure that doesn’t happen to you.

We’re not here to scare you into hiring an attorney. We’re here to give you real, practical information so you can decide what makes sense for your family.
