Hopkins Law, LLC

Estate Planning

We will guide you through the process of setting up an estate plan tailored to your unique needs, explaining the meaning and relevancy of the legal documents involved.  Options include a will, trust, power of attorney, and advanced healthcare directive.

Probate Administration

Probate is the court-supervised process of wrapping up a person's estate upon death, ensuring any creditors and taxes are paid, and assets are distributed to heirs pursuant to the person's intent (if there is a will) or pursuant to statute (if there is no will). We work closely with you to ensure legal documents are filed promptly, required notices are provided, and statutory deadlines are met. 

Guardianships & Conservatorships

A legal process by which a guardian or conservator is appointed by the court to supervise the well-being of a person with diminished capacity (guardianship) or to manage the finances and business of a person who is financially incapable (conservatorship). We will work with you regarding whether a guardianship or conservatorship is appropriate for your particular circumstances and whether less restrictive alternatives are available.
