Ryan: “Most people say ‘One day, one day I’ll make my will.’ I would make that day…today.”

I Swear on My Mother’s Grave

12-06-2023 • 57 mins

Hey! Pull up a chair and let’s talk about how to set our loved ones up for success by making a will and checking it twice. It is one of the kindest things you can do for the people who love you.


Wading thru grief without dealing with the legal system is complicated enough, so thinking ahead about what COULD happen to you, and planning next steps, is key.

Our guest, Ryan Holmes, is with the law firm Clark Hill, and I met him in the weeks following my own mother’s death in 2016. He was patient and kind with me, and taught me ALL about wills/estates…and let me cry in his office.


In this episode, Ryan and I talk about end of life wishes, how to pick your beneficiaries, what probate court is, how messy and complicated things can get when documents are left unsigned. And Ryan gets to take off his attorney hat for a moment to remember the mother he lost over 17 years ago.
