At Lannik Law, we distinguish ourselves through a personal, artistic approach to Elder Law and Estate Planning. While many lawyers share common traits, like law degrees and experience, my background in theater and art history shapes how I work with clients.

Just as in the arts, where tradition is passed down, I blend my knowledge of the law with a deep understanding of my clients' evolving needs. From clients who just turned 18 to their 90s, I take pride in guiding them through life's stages, creating connections that last beyond the legal process. At Lannik Law, you're not just a case—you're part of an ongoing journey.

Kate is an attorney at GANZ LAW GROUP LLC who practices in the areas of estate planning, taxation, probate, and estate administration. She helps individuals and families of all ages in creating Wills, Trusts, and other estate planning tools with the goal of crafting customized, integrated plans.. Kate regularly assists clients with the complexities of probating and administering estates, and brings her breadth of experience and knowledge to each step of the process.. She is sensitive to family dynamics and strives for practical and cost-effective settling of estates and trusts.. Kate is a great listener and is eager to answer her clients’ questions.

After practicing law in the estate planning and probate areas for 33 years, I find that every client and every estate still present unique challenges and opportunities.  Every client's needs are different and it is my task to make sure those needs are met and in the most cost-effective manner possible. Especially in probating an estate, but also in planning for the welfare of a family, the client faces emotional decisions and needs experienced guidance to make sure the family is well-protected.  That is my job and I do it well.. It is important to give back to the community in whatever way our talents and time will permit.  For that reason, I try to commit to United Way when there is a fit between my interests and abilities and their needs.. I am a member of the ACLU Amicus group and have worked as a cooperating attorney, with one of my partners, on a reproductive rights case, pro bono.  Being a woman of a certain age and remembering how frightening it was to grow up in the 1960s, securing reproductive rights for women is dear to my heart so it was a privilege to represent a physician very successfully in this case.  I look forward to being of assistance to the ACLU again.. I also do some pro bono work for the Women's Bar Association Elder Law Project.  The Project identifies elderly and indigent men and women who are in need of such documents as health care proxies, durable powers of attorney and, in some cases, wills. The participating lawyers meet with the clients, prepare the documents needed, and supervise document execution.  Having their affairs in order is as important to this population as it is to millionaire clients.. But, the most enjoyable aspect of my life these days is my tiny grandson!  I am SO a grandmother and will bore you with tales of his 2 year old exploits and his pictures at the drop of a hat!
