For many people, the thought of estate planning brings a wave of uncertainty with complicated legal terms, difficult decisions and the uneasy feeling of confronting “what happens when.” But for Hoskins Life & Legacy Planning, it’s not just about what happens after you’re gone, it’s about protecting your peace while you’re living.
Based in Long Island, New York, Hoskins Life & Legacy Planning is changing how families think about estate planning. Their mission is simple: to educate, empower and equip clients with the knowledge and tools to protect what matters most.
“We’re here for everybody,” said founder Sharon Hoskins. “Everyone needs a plan and peace of mind.”
A Simpler, Smarter Approach to Estate Planning
At its core, Hoskins Life & Legacy Planning focuses on estate planning, helping individuals and families secure their assets, prepare essential documents and ensure their wishes are clearly communicated. But what sets them apart is how they do it.
Instead of rushing into paperwork or legal jargon, Hoskins begins with education. Every potential client starts with a free estate planning workshop, a cornerstone of their approach. These virtual sessions walk attendees through the basics of estate planning in clear, approachable language.
“Our goal is to make estate planning digestible for the average person,” said Rob Hoskins, founder. “Through our workshops, we’re able to explain the process in a way that really resonates, helping people understand not just the ‘what,’ but the ‘why.’”
The workshop serves as the first step in the planning journey, giving clients confidence and clarity before they move forward with a personalized plan.
From Vision to Legacy
After the workshop, clients meet with the team for a vision meeting, an opportunity to talk through their goals, values and family dynamics.
“We start with what’s important to you,” the Hoskins team said. “Then we present different strategies to protect those priorities.”
From there, the process moves through a design meeting, where beneficiaries and specific details are discussed, followed by a review and signing meeting. On average, clients can complete their estate plan in just four to six weeks, thanks to Hoskins’ streamlined process.
But where many firms stop, Hoskins continues. The team not only creates estate plans but also helps clients fund their trusts and prepare the necessary documents to ensure their plans work in practice.
Legacy Maintenance: Peace of Mind That Lasts
The Hoskins team understands that life changes and so will your plan. Their Legacy Maintenance Program keeps estate plans current and conversations ongoing.
For an annual fee, nearly equivalent to their hourly rate, clients can make updates at no additional charge and attend exclusive educational workshops to prepare those involved, such as healthcare proxies, executors and guardians. Along with other benefits to members of the Program.
For clients who prefer not to join the program, Hoskins still encourages checking in every few years to ensure documents remain up to date.
The P.E.A.C.E Philosophy
At the heart of Hoskins Life & Legacy Planning is their guiding motto: P.E.A.C.E — Protection, Education, Assistance, Care and Empowerment.
“When you take steps in advance, you’re not just preparing for the future, you’re protecting your family’s peace today,” the team says. “The best thing you can do as a person who has assets is leave clear instructions behind that reflect your wishes.”
Whether you’re new to estate planning or looking to update an existing plan, Hoskins Life & Legacy Planning offers a compassionate, educational and empowering path forward. Because planning your legacy shouldn’t be overwhelming, it should bring you peace.
