In Yours, Mine & Ours, Hood offers real-world advice while cover crucial topics such as:

• Property Ownership
• Documents for Planning
• Important Payers in Planning
• Challenges One will Face

When nearly 70% of estate plans yield unfavorable results for the family, the need for a meticulous estate plan cannot be overstated. Hood’s guide to estate planning will allow individuals to rest assured that their families are provided for thoroughly.
