Family Shield Workshop

How to Move from Good Intentions to a Plan That Protects Your Family

As parents, we spend so much time helping our children grow strong, healthy, disciplined, and prepared — but one question is easy to put off:

If something happened to us, who would raise them?

Most parents know they should have a plan in place.

But between choosing guardians, preparing legal documents, and knowing how to talk through the plan as a family, it can be hard to know where to start.

In this free online workshop, Jim and Beth Hood will walk you through the Five Foundations of the Family Shield and take a deeper look at the practical planning pieces many families find confusing — including guardianship, wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, provision, organization, and follow-through.

They help families create clear, organized, family-centered estate plans that protect children, reduce confusion, and give loved ones guidance when it matters most.
