While most of us do not like to think about our own mortality, there can be a comforting peace in knowing that your affairs are in order, that your stated desires will be followed should you become incapacitated, and that your estate will be passed on in manner consistent with your wishes and values after your death.  Hodson & Mullin can assist clients with a wide variety of estate planning options including Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Wills, and Probate. 

Hodson & Mullin has helped clients avoid the complication, delay and expense of probate through the creation of a trust.  A trust can sometimes help avoid cost, and restrictions of a conservatorship and/or in the case of larger marital estates, a trust can reduce or eliminate Federal estate taxes through the use of an exemption trust.  We review each client’s unique estate and work with them to devise an estate plan that accomplishes their goal and desires.

We also offer efficient and comprehensive Probate representation that can include proving the validity of a will, handling intestate succession, inventorying a decedent’s property, appraising property, paying debts and taxes and distributing the remaining property according to the decedent’s stated wishes. 

Hodson & Mullin often works together with clients who are considering or have completed the dissolution of their marriage (Divorce).  We review, and in many cases revise, divorced clients’ estate plans to fit their new life circumstances.  There are numerous crossover issues in Family Law and Estate Planning and Hodson & Mullin can assist with helping clients plan for a smoother transition from marriage back to the status of a single person while ensuring their testamentary wishes are memorialized throughout the process.  Put our expertise to work for you.
