Our founder, Kimberly Hegwood, witnessed her grandparents struggle with the ins and outs of Social Security, estate planning, asset protection, elder law, and other obstacles correlated with aging. After experiencing her loved ones’ challenges first-hand, she founded Hegwood Law Group to assist other individuals and families who are facing similar difficulties. For over 25 years, our firm has helped families plan for the future, protect their loved ones, and have guided them through the unexpected.
Hegwood Law Group has focused exclusively on elder law, asset protection, estate planning, long-term care planning, probate, guardianship, and special needs planning. As we have encountered the aging population’s growing need for more tailored services than a traditional law firm can provide, we are transitioning to fulfill those missing pieces and offer our clients more options to help them with the aging process.
To accommodate our expanding services, we are excited to announce that we are changing our name from Hegwood Law Group to Your Legacy Legal Care®. By changing our name, we hope to better reflect our continuing devotion, compassion, and loyalty to our current and future clients, from the beginning of our journey together to the end. We will remain composed of the same great and growing team, along with providing the same excellent services to you and your loved ones, only with added services to fill in the gaps that we have seen so many families require. Our firm will now be a Dementia-Focused firm, allowing our team to understand what our clients are faced with to be better committed to assisting seniors, families, and individuals in planning for their future and coping during times of crisis.
Our transition to Your Legacy Legal Care® will allow for a more accurate reflection of who we are, the services we are passionate about, and the clients we serve. We chose “Your Legacy Legal Care®” because we are here for YOU. We know the importance of establishing a lasting legacy for you and your loved ones, but we also know our journey together should often not stop there. Our services will extend far past the establishment of your legal documents, as we will begin having a more direct role related to the long-term care of our clients.
We hope you will join us in the transition to our new name and our Dementia-Focused firm. We look forward to unveiling our new services to you as we remain dedicated to providing education to help you make informed decisions, connecting you with essential resources, and serving as an advocate for those in need.
