My greatest joy as an attorney is helping my clients find comfort and security during challenging times. I provide this support through both estate planning and probate legal services. When my clients need estate planning or probate services, they are often struggling with issues of death, loss, aging, fear, and uncertainty. It is my job to help them achieve certainty, clarity, and calm by guiding them through the choices and processes at hand.
As an Estate Planner, I help my clients evaluate the roles of their family and friends and their assets and debts. I then advise them regarding key decisions involving who should be entrusted with certain responsibilities and obligations and how property should be distributed.
When clients need succession or probate assistance, I counsel my clients by gathering the necessary information, working with creditors and heirs of an estate, and navigating the opening and closing of the succession. My goal is to provide clarity, efficiency, and support to an otherwise overwhelming process so that a family can focus on overcoming grief and emotionally supporting their loved ones.
Together, we can overcome the legal challenges that accompany death and dying and help you and your family focus on what really counts.
