If you need an attorney who will provide you with plain English explanations, respond to your emails and phone calls in a timely manner, and provide the legal counsel and guidance your family needs to accomplish their goals, please reach out to me. I would love to create an estate plan that is unique to you and your family that is effective in accomplishing your goals for your finances, family and future.. In addition to estate planning, I work closely with families in need of immediate guidance with regard to planning for long term care. I often work with children who are in the position to make impactful decision for their parents and need guidance to ensure they are moving in the right direction. Whether that means using assets in the best way to pay for care, or spending down and strategizing for a Medicaid application. I also take on the burden of filing and managing the Medicaid application process.. Lastly, if a loved one has recently passed away, I can assist you with determining what needs to be done in order to ensure the family can effectively administer the estate with the Probate Court.  I would love to be able to make the process easy to understand and take this burden off your shoulders.. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or to schedule a meeting to discuss anything from drafting a Will, Trust, or Advanced Directives, to long term care planning and filing a Medicaid (T19) application.
