Shannon Pawley, The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, helps raise awareness for eco-friendly estate planning options. 

DECATUR, GA, June ••, 2024: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “Green Estate Planning: Eco-Friendly Options for Your Legacy,” in which Ms. Pawley writes about two popular estate planning options.

Pawley writes, “As we humans continue to become more eco-conscious – albeit slowly – and the concern for the health of the earth and for the effect our actions have on future generations continues to grow, many people have a desire to align the values that guide the way they live with the way they invest and with how they make their exit from this beautiful earth.” She states, “ hey want their eco-friendly values to be part of the legacy they leave for their heirs.”

Pawley provides an overview of Green Burial, saying that, “Green burial is “a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact that aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of worker health, and the restoration and/or preservation of habitat.” She cites The Green Burial Council, a nonprofit organization that provides certification for qualifying providers.

Pawley also defines Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) saying, “It is an investing philosophy where investors take companies’ environmental, social, and corporate governance factors (ESG) into account.” Pawley notes that SRI “is reshaping the landscape of estate planning and establishing socially responsible values for future generations.”

Born and raised in the Tidewater area of Virginia to a tightknit family with strong military service roots, Shannon learned from an early age the value of hard work and the importance of social awareness to ensure you always leave a situation in a better place than how you entered it.  In her junior year of high school, Shannon served as U.S. House of Representatives Page during the 101^st United States Congressional Session in Washington, D.C.  This experience exposed her to numerous new cultures and worldly issues.  Walking away from her experience as a U.S. House of Representative Page, Shannon knew that she wanted to pursue legal studies and be able to assist others in obtaining the best results available in difficult situations.

Shannon earned her undergraduate degree at North Carolina Wesleyan College and pursued a law degree from Michigan State University College of Law.  After obtaining her law degree and becoming a licensed attorney in Michigan, she continued her educational pursuit by acquiring a LL.M.
