I am an estate planning attorney helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of Medicaid planning, preparation of wills and trusts, and the administration of a loved one’s estate. I help my aging clients by working with them to navigate the complexities of a comprehensive care-plan designed to meet my clients’ goals of receiving necessary care while generally preserving assets for a spouse, children, family, or charities. When possible, I like to plan with clients before needs arise because it provides the best opportunity to meet the clients’ goals. When that isn’t possible, I can help make the best of the adversity that aging sometimes presents unexpectedly.I work with clients regardless of age in preparing key documents such as wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, and, when appropriate for the client’s goals, trusts. Being a parent of two young daughters, I am sensitive to the estate planning needs of my clients with minor children and I counsel them on documents to name guardians and provide structure for transferring their property in the event of an untimely death. I will listen to your goals and concerns to work with you in developing your personalized plans. And when a family member passes away, I am here to help your family handle the legal aspects of an estate administration so you can have peace of mind.
