Serving families since 1985 — zero disciplinary actions

The TrustKeeper Approach

Most people don't need a lawyer. They need a system that works when they're gone.

Jerry Taylor built his practice on a simple conviction: the best estate plan is the one that actually gets followed. That means documents drafted with precision, but also systems designed so that your family doesn't end up in probate court fighting over what you meant.

His background in litigation — including the largest nursing home medical malpractice verdict in Alabama history — gave him a perspective most estate planners don't have. He's seen what happens when assets aren't protected. He builds plans that account for it.

01

Probate Avoidance

Revocable living trusts and coordinated titling that keep your assets out of court and in your family's hands.

02

Asset Protection

Wealth Transfer

Clear, legally sound plans for passing assets to the next generation — on your terms, not the state's.

About Jerry Taylor

He built his practice on seeing what most estate planners miss.

Jerry Taylor began practicing law in 1985. After years in litigation — including landmark personal injury cases — he founded his own firm in 2007 with a focus on what he saw families needed most: protection. Not just documents. Systems that work when it matters most.

Today, Jerry serves clients across Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi, and consults with families throughout the United States and internationally on asset protection structures. He's a frequent speaker at legal seminars across the country and around the world.

Outside the practice, Jerry is active in local theatre and music on the Eastern Shore — proof that a serious attorney can also be a well-rounded person.
