In addition to being an attorney, I am a wife and mother of four busy children. As a parent, I know how busy life can be. In trying to balance work, family responsibilities, and children’s school and extracurricular activities, we sometimes procrastinate doing really important things, like making sure our spouses and children are protected in the event of our incapacity or death.In fact, most parents I meet have not prepared a will or legally named a guardian for their minor children. The reasons vary, but it’s often a combination of not wanting to think about an emotional painful subject, lacking the time and energy to get it done, and fearing that an attorney’s services will simply cost too much.As both a mother and an attorney, I understand the unique legal needs of families. I know that all parents, regardless of their net worth, need comprehensive estate planning to ensure their wishes are followed and their families are protected. And I find great personal and professional satisfaction in helping parents create estate plans that provide them with that peace of mind. With these considerations in mind, I understand the time and financial constraints families face.
