About
Madeline Gauthier is a seasoned estate planning and probate attorney with over 30 years of experience, dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of planning for their loved ones. Located in the heart of Bellevue, WA, her practice focuses on estate planning, probate, tax, and insurance matters, serving clients from Seattle to surrounding areas including Kirkland, Mercer Island, Renton, Issaquah, Bothell, Mill Creek, and Redmond. Understanding that the core of estate planning revolves around relationships, Madeline emphasizes the importance of identifying who matters most to you. She skillfully guides clients through the intricacies of financial planning, including asset distribution, tax strategies, and the nuances of retirement and life insurance designations. By framing these discussions around your values and loved ones, she ensures that your estate plan reflects your wishes and provides the necessary care for those you cherish. Madeline’s extensive knowledge extends to the implications of not having a will, where state laws may dictate asset distribution in ways that may not align with your intentions. Her proactive approach helps clients avoid the pitfalls of the Intestacy Statute, ensuring that your preferences are honored without unnecessary court supervision. A graduate of Gonzaga University Law School and the University of Florida's Graduate Tax Program, Madeline's legal foundation is complemented by her prior role as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Washington. Since establishing her private practice in Bellevue in 1992, she has become a respected member of several legal organizations, including the East King County Estate Planning Council and the King County Bar Association, where she currently chairs the Probate and Estate Section. With a commitment to crafting tailored estate plans that reflect your heart and maximize tax advantages, Madeline Gauthier is your trusted partner in securing your legacy.
