Why Professional Referral Partners Choose The Hive Law

Most referral relationships between professionals are informal. No written commitments. No communication protocol. No way to know if your client had a good experience until they mention it months later.

The Hive Law built this program to be different. Every referral has a defined process. You hear from us within 24 hours of making the introduction. You receive updates throughout the engagement. When the work is complete, you receive a summary of what changed in your client’s plan.

Our Commitment to You

We do not compete for your client relationship. We handle estate planning documents only: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives. We do not offer financial advice, tax planning, insurance products, family law services, or real estate transactions. What is inside your professional scope stays inside your professional scope.

That commitment is in writing. Every referral partner receives our non-poaching agreement before we accept their first referral. It states exactly what we do, what we do not do, and what we commit to communicating after every engagement.

The Estate Exposure Report — Your Referral Tool

Every partner receives access to the Estate Exposure Report. It is a free assessment your clients complete in under five minutes. The report instantly identifies their estate planning gaps and connects them to a strategy call with Melissa Breyer. You are attributed as the referring partner on every submission.

For Financial & Tax Professionals

CPAs, financial advisors, and insurance agents encounter estate planning gaps constantly. We handle what your professional scope does not allow.

CPA Referral Partners Tax season surfaces unfunded trusts, missing buy-sell agreements, and outdated beneficiary designations every year. We draft the estate planning documents your clients need. You stay in your lane. We stay in ours. See How It Works Financial Advisor Referral Partners Beneficiary designations that conflict with the estate plan, retirement accounts that don't coordinate with the trust, clients who have AUM but no will — you see these gaps. We draft the documents that close them. Your client relationship stays yours. See How It Works Life & Long-Term Care Insurance Agent Referral Partners A life insurance policy that names the wrong beneficiary, or a long-term care policy with no Medicaid documents behind it, leaves your client exposed. We draft the estate planning documents that make the policy work the way your client intends. You handle the coverage. We handle the legal structure. See How It Works P&C Insurance Agent Referral Partners When a commercial client dies, the properties don't stop needing insurance. Without an estate plan, no one has authority to manage them, pay the premiums, or make coverage decisions. That gap lands on you before anyone else. See How It Works Business Banker & M&A Advisor Referral Partners A business owner who sells without an updated estate plan sends proceeds to the wrong place, triggers avoidable taxes, or leaves heirs in a dispute over what the will actually meant. We work with business owner clients before and after the transaction to make sure the estate plan matches the liquidity event. See How It Works

For Legal & Real Estate Professionals

Divorce attorneys, elder law consultants, and real estate agents each encounter specific client moments that create estate planning referral opportunities.

Divorce Attorney Referral Partners When divorce is final, the estate plan still names the ex-spouse. Beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, and joint trusts do not update automatically in Georgia. We handle those documents so your client's legal picture matches their new life. We do not handle family law matters. See How It Works Elder Law Medicaid Referral Partners You handle Medicaid planning. We handle the estate planning documents. The work is complementary and the referral goes both ways. When our clients need Medicaid planning help, we send them to you. See How It Works Real Estate Referral Partners Your clients buy investment properties without estate plans to match. We handle the trust drafting, LLC coordination, and incapacity planning after close. You share one link. We handle the rest. See How It Works

For Medical & Senior Care Professionals

Geriatric care managers, hospice social workers, senior placement advisors, and funeral directors each work with families at the exact moment estate planning gaps surface.

Geriatric Care Manager Referral Partners Cognitive decline, sudden illness, and Medicaid spend-down events are all estate planning emergencies. We draft the powers of attorney, advance directives, and trust documents your clients need — before the window closes. We respond the same day you call. See How It Works Hospice Social Worker & Grief Counselor Referral Partners Hospice social workers and grief counselors work with families at the most difficult moments. Legal documents — powers of attorney, advance directives, wills — surface in those conversations whether or not you are prepared to answer them. We are the referral that makes you more useful to the families you serve. See How It Works Senior Placement Advisor Referral Partners A senior moving into assisted living or memory care is making one of the most significant financial transitions of their life. If the home, the assets, and the accounts are not in a legal structure that matches the move, the family will deal with probate. We close that gap. You handle the placement. We handle the plan. See How It Works Funeral Director Referral Partners Families who arrive at your funeral home without an estate plan face probate, asset disputes, and financial decisions they are not prepared to make. We handle the estate planning for surviving family members — and for families who come to you in advance — so the next generation does not face the same situation. See How It Works

Planning For Your Specific Situation

If you own rental properties or a business, your situation has layers a standard estate plan does not address.

Investor Planning You Own Rental Properties Rental properties, LLCs, and a standard estate plan usually do not work together. If yours are not connected, your family faces probate on every property you own. See How It Works Business Owner Planning You Own a Business A business adds layers most estate plans do not address. Without the right structure, your family may not be able to access or run your business when you are gone. See How It Works

What Our Clients Say

After my father passed away, my mother had to rely on my father's employer to navigate the estate. It was a disaster. After this experience, I knew I needed a plan. I turned to The Hive Law to set up a trust. I no longer have to worry about my wife and children going through a difficult process if something happens to me. I highly recommend The Hive Law!

Teresa Overstreet Google Review

Shawn and Melissa were amazing to work with! My partner and I recently bought a house and wanted to get important things like wills, healthcare directives, etc. set up. They were incredible at answering all our questions and working with us to make sure we felt confident in all of the legal aspects. Having tried to do this online before with one of the DIY tools, it was just an amazing experience to get to talk through what we wanted with a knowledgeable human and have them take care of the details.

Denali Pray Google Review

Hive Law was awesome to work with! Melissa and Shawn explained everything, kept things stress-free, and were always quick to respond to my questions. They made the whole process simple and smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend if you want a team that's knowledgeable but also easy to work with.

Ryan Rollins Google Review

I lost my father in February of this year without any estate planning in place. The process of dealing with the probate court has been overwhelming and expensive. After this experience, I contacted The Hive Law to set up a trust so my children never have to go through what I've been through. Melissa and Shawn were compassionate, knowledgeable, and made the entire process simple. I highly recommend The Hive Law!

Rachel Shannon Google Review

I used to know the bare minimum about probate and trust. I first encountered Shawn Breyer on Facebook. He was offering a webinar that I watched. That gave me a better understanding of probate versus trust. I was impressed enough to have him and his wife represent me. I had my initial one on one interview with Melissa Breyer, it went smoothly and she made everything clear. We are now proceeding with getting a revocable trust in place.

Jer Udvadia Google Review

The Hive Law has been amazing throughout the process of setting up our trust. Every detail is considered and no stone is left unturned. They have been easy and enjoyable to work with. I would absolutely recommend them! Don't let your estate be turned over to Probate!!

Frequently Asked Questions

It means we do not cross-sell, do not solicit additional services your client did not come to us for, and do not position ourselves as a replacement for you in their professional network. If your client asks us about investments, tax planning, insurance, or family law during our meetings, we refer them back to you. We put this in writing as a signed commitment before accepting your first referral.

We contact your client within 24 hours of the introduction. We update you when we schedule their strategy call, when the engagement begins, and when the work is complete. At close, we send a brief summary of what changed in their estate plan so you can coordinate any related work on your end.

Yes. Give your client the Estate Exposure Report link. The report is free, takes under five minutes, and produces an instant analysis of their estate planning gaps. It connects them directly to a strategy call with Melissa. Your name is attached to every submission so we know who referred them and can keep you updated.

Georgia Bar Rule 5.4(a) prohibits attorneys from sharing legal fees with nonlawyers. We cannot pay referral fees, and we prefer not to structure the relationship around financial incentives. The program is built on mutual client service and reciprocal referrals. When our clients need services in your professional area, we refer them to our partners. That structure produces more consistent referrals in both directions over time than a per-referral payment ever would.
