Estate Planning
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day instead of thinking about the future. What happens to your family when you die or become incapacitated is not something to be left to chance.
Do your loved ones know how you wish them to handle your assets or make medical decisions on your behalf? Would you like to make sure the estate planning documents you have in place will help keep your relatives from dealing with a Probate Court?

Entrust us with personalized planning to protect your future
When it comes to estate planning for family-owned businesses, we can support you in business planning including business succession planning. From business formation, through growth, to transition and exit-planning strategies, we take a proactive approach to ensuring the business legacy you want to leave will endure.
We believe at Hood Law Group that, at the very least, everyone should have a will, a durable power of attorney, and a health care directive in order to make their wishes known and preserve their rights and assets in the event of a life-changing event. In most cases, however, a living trust coupled with these three documents is clearly the better option.
The Hood Law Difference
Our decades of experience in working with clients in the preparation of these important documents will help you to preserve your assets for future generations.
Clients turn to us for a variety of reasons:
Have you recently started a family, or added to your family, and want to protect their future?
Does your family disagree about the management of the family business?
Have you recently lost a family member and need to close their accounts, distribute their assets to beneficiaries, or sell their property?
Is your child with special needs turning 18?
Is there another beneficiary, such as a charity, who is mentioned in the will and now you are facing a dispute over the distribution of assets?
Do you have artwork or collectables of significant value?
Our prime goal, after reviewing your assets and discussing your estate planning goals, is to advise you on how to achieve your goals with a minimum of hassle, at a reasonable expense—to avoid probate if at all possible. Our exceptional estate planning team has assisted many clients from simple wills and trusts to more complicated probate and million-dollar estates—Hood Law Group handles them all with great care and competency.
Estate planning is a very personal process. Our goal is to know our clients personally and work closely to develop customized estate plans that serve your needs now and in the future.
