About

Trustworthy, accessible and compassionate, I return calls and reply to emails promptly. After practicing law for more than 30 years I still enjoy meeting with individuals and families to explain how simple and low stress estate planning can be. We tailor each estate plan to each client's needs, which means the unique issues that present themselves keep things interesting and keep us always learning. A comprehensive estate plan should nominate guardians for children under age 18 and for the person creating the plan (in case of an accident, stroke or dementia), advise loved ones of the client's wishes regarding health care, including end of life decisions, and provide for the distribution of assets after a death consistent with the client's wishes - to the people and causes most important to them, when appropriate based on each person's maturity. We work to avoid guardianship and probate when possible so as to save expenses and keep our clients' financial affairs private. As people age and fear being impoverished by long term health care costs, we consider it a privilege to help you protect assets and plan for eligibility for Medicaid and/or Veterans Administration pension benefits.
