Most successful people think it’s their assets they need to protect and pass on. That version of estate planning is dead.The most important part of your estate is YOU! Think about it. Why are you passing assets to your loved ones? It’s because you want to give them a better life. But assets in a vacuum, without the context that only you can give, are simply spent and forgotten. What if you could transport yourself into your children and grandchildren’s futures and transform the money and assets you leave behind into a living legacy that will carry them through the ups and downs of their lives, and for generations to come? I became an estate planning and elder law attorney because of the tragedy of my mom’s early onset Alzheimer’s when I was still a teenager. I thought I would help clients navigate the legal system and protect their assets, and I’ve successfully done that for more than 30 years. But what I’ve seen working with thousands of families is a much deeper need, a longing to create intergenerational wholeness.Today I use my experience as a coach and attorney to help people plan for and navigate the real human dynamics of each unique family to cultivate a legacy that will help the coming generations truly thrive, like the guidance and encouragement I missed out on from my own mother. Together with my team at Hammond Law Group, we help successful professionals and families cultivate tailored legacy, estate, and financial planning designed to truly carry your wisdom and values into future generations. Documents are an important part of a transformational legacy plan, but they are only one piece of the puzzle. We work with clients to address all the necessary elements, and maintain an ongoing relationship with you and your family so that everything will go as smoothly as possible as changes come. I also serve as a guide for those navigating challenging life transitions such as loss, divorce, financial crisis, or illness (personally, or the illness of a spouse, parent, or child).I'm the proud author of Hope(less): The truth about hope and where to find it.
