About Todd N.
Todd N. Hallock builds his practice on steady, long-term work rather than flash. He earned a B.A. in history from Arizona State University in 1990 and a J.D. from Brigham Young University in 1994. Those years set the course for a career split between private practice and substantive work on estate and giving issues.
After law school he joined Hanson, Epperson & Smith as an associate in 1994. Two years later he established Hallock & Hallock, a professional corporation, and has practiced there since 1996. The decision to start his own practice came early in his career and he has kept a local footprint while handling matters across multiple states.
He is admitted to practice in Arizona, Idaho and Utah. His work frequently involves estate planning, probate administration and matters related to trusts. He also advises on charitable giving and planned giving arrangements for nonprofit clients and families. Case work ranges from routine estate administration to the drafting of complex wealth transfer documents.
Hallock has held a number of leadership posts in professional and community organizations. He served as president of the Cache County Bar Association from 2002 to 2003 after a year as president-elect. He was a member of the BYU Law School Alumni Board from 2003 to 2006 and chaired the Logan chapter of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society from 2007 to 2009. Those roles reflect a steady pattern of volunteer leadership at the local level.
His engagement extends into the estate planning and nonprofit fields. He served on the board of the Estate Planning Council of Northern Utah, acting as vice president in 2010–2011 and president in 2011–2012. He is a member of the National Planned Giving Council and since 2013 has been vice-chair of the LDS Philanthropies National Planned Giving Council. He is also involved in probate policy through a probate legislative ad hoc committee.
Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical and detail-oriented in his work. He balances transactional drafting with litigation-avoidance strategies and regular counseling for families and nonprofit organizations. He continues to practice through Hallock & Hallock, advising clients on estate planning, probate and planned giving matters.
