Do you have unique estate planning or probate and trust administration needs involving valuable works of art or collectibles that you would like handled in a professional yet personal way?Few attorneys in the Kansas City area are as experienced to handle this niche and practice art law as I do. If works of art are part of your estate, let me help you plan for this special asset class.Prior to graduating from UMKC Law School and joining the legal profession, I spent over a decade employed as an arts professional managing and appraising art collections and buying and selling art and collectibles. I have a Bachelor’s in Art History from Boston College and a Masters Degree in Applied History from UMKC with an area of focus on Native American and Hispanic art and collectibles of the American Southwest. My unique educational and professional experiences distinguish me and my practice.In this way, my work as an attorney focusing on estate planning is a natural fit for my background, and my years of work specializing in the arts dovetail seamlessly into this practice area. As an attorney with Hood Law Group, I always look forward to advising clients on art-related matters and have served on the board of the Kansas City Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts since 2008 and have been acting as Board Chair since 2016.Not an owner of fine works of art? No problem! I provide thoughtful, efficient estate planning, trust and probate administration for estates that run the gambit from small to substantial.As a KC native, I pride myself with having an approachable, professional demeanor with a personal touch—especially when giving attention to legal matters that might be of an especially sensitive nature to my clients. My clients are at the center of my business—I enjoy the process of collaborating with them to make the best planning decisions for themselves and their families. Prioritizing clear, effective communication, I consider myself a “thinking partner” in estate planning—assisting my clients in organizing their affairs and advising their decision making with regard to the legal process.Contact me at Hood Law Group at 816-561-5000 to see how we can work together or just talk yoga, as I have completed a certified yoga teacher training!
