I am a Partner at Schenck Price Smith & King, LLP, where I practice in the firm’s Elder & Special Needs Law, Estate and Trust Litigation, and Estate, Gift & Charitable Planning groups.
Throughout my legal career, I have focused exclusively on:
Estate & Tax Planning
Estate Administration
Estate and Trust Litigation
Elder Law & Care Planning
Medicaid Planning
Guardianships
Business Succession Planning
Special Needs & Disability Law
I am proud to hold the designation of Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA), affirming my depth of experience in elder law, and I am also a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), reflecting my commitment to supporting individuals and families facing cognitive decline and aging-related challenges.
My practice includes:
Crafting customized estate plans—including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives—with a focus on minimizing or avoiding estate taxation
Representing executors and administrators in managing estates
Advising trustees on trust administration and compliance
Supporting fiduciaries acting under powers of attorney, healthcare directives, guardianships, and conservatorships
Advocating for beneficiaries to protect their rights and interests
Representing individuals in contested estate and trust matters
Assisting elderly clients and their families in developing long-term care plans with asset preservation strategies
Guiding families through the Medicaid application process
Supporting individuals with developmental disabilities or incapacitation, and those seeking guardianship appointments, including serving as Court-appointed counsel
As a proud resident of Sussex County, I regularly speak at local seminars, sharing practical insights in this ever-evolving field. I also give back to the community through various roles: serving as legal counsel to nonprofit organizations, coordinating the ski club at my children’s high school, and leading a Girl Scout troop. Outside of my practice, I cherish time with my husband and two children, loving all the seasons and being outside with them.
