Elder Law & Estate Planning Attorneys Providing Legal Power for Seniors
Our attorneys will work with you to simplify the complex process of planning your estate, whether you need a will or a trust to ensure that your wishes are followed after your death, and your family’s financial future is protected. We pay particular attention to structuring your estate in a way that minimizes your tax burden and helps to simply and minimize family disagreements after your death.
In addition, we can assist you with matters such as powers of attorney, planning for incapacity, guardianships, and advance directives for health care.

Elder Law
Creating and updating a proper estate plan is something that everyone should do, not only seniors. However, many people give more careful attention to such matters as they grow older. At Hook Law Center, we have the skill and experience necessary to provide you with authoritative advice regarding the distribution of your assets after your death. We can help you create your will and form any trusts necessary to accomplish your estate planning goals, such as avoiding probate, saving on taxes, and providing for your heirs according to your wishes.

Estate Planning
According to the AARP, only 60% of people over the age of 50 have wills, only 45% have durable powers of attorney, 30% have advance medical directives, and only 23% have living trusts. As these statistics show, most people fail to make a comprehensive estate plan, and those who do probably have not reviewed their plans in years. Hook Law Center can help ensure that a lifetime of hard work will benefit you during your lifetime and your loved ones after your death.

Guardianship
A guardianship is an arrangement determined by the court which places someone in the position to oversee the care of an incapacitated adult. Hook Law Center can assist you in appointing a guardian as part of your estate plan, should you need care in the future, and can help you pursue guardianship for a loved one.

Conservatorship
Hook Law Center can assist you in becoming the conservator of a loved one in order for you to help you ensure their care and security, allowing you to make decisions on that person’s behalf, and protect his/ her property and best interests.
