About Peggy
Biography
Peggy Sheahan Knee grew up in the Bronx, New York. She had early exposure to the difficulties facing families with elderly relatives. Her grandfather was severely disabled due to the side effects experienced from encephalopathy and he lived under difficult circumstances from age 82 until age 95. Peggy saw the impact that aging took upon her family and sought to achieve expertise in the newly developled Elder Law field, after establishing herself as a trusts and estates/tax practitioner. She holds a Masters of Taxation law degree from New York University School of Law and has found the degree invaluable in advising both estate planning and Elder Law clients. Peggy also works closely with families who have loved ones with special needs and counsels the families as to the appropriate courses of action to provide for their loved ones in the future.
