Biography
I advise clients in the areas of Probate, Estate & Trust Administration, Estate Planning, Contested and Uncontested Guardianship matters, Will Contests, Contested Accountings, and Special Needs Planning.
To this end, I:
- Prepare estate planning documents (from basic to complex), including, but not limited to: Wills, various Trusts (e.g.: Revocable, Irrevocable, Life Insurance, Charitable, and/or Personal Residence), and Advance Directives;
- Prepare Probate and Estate Administration Petitions to help fiduciaries obtain Letters Testamentary, Limited Letters Testamentary, Letters of Administration, or Letters of Administration, C.T.A;
- Counsel fiduciaries (e.g.: executors, administrators, trustees, and guardians) on the administration and taxation of their (or their ward’s) estates;
- Advise trustees and trust beneficiaries on the administration and taxation of trusts;
- Represent family members in kinship proceedings to prove their right to inherit property;
- Represent individuals in contested and uncontested guardianship proceedings;
- Advise individuals on elder law issues, including reviewing existing care plans and long-term care insurance policies, and assesses possibility of Medicaid planning (community and institutional);
- Advise disabled individuals and their family members on special needs planning;
- Negotiate with NYC Human Resources Administration to reduce or eliminate various “Medicaid claims”;
- Represent individuals in estate and trust litigation, including will contests, turn-over proceedings, and contested accountings.
I live in Brooklyn, with my husband, John, and our two young daughters – Sophie and Mikaela. I like to balance work with traveling, hiking, baking, and helping my children explore the world around them.

Replied last April 14, 2017Thanks for your comments, Lenny. After 32 years of experience dealing with my own parents, who can also be difficult (much of the time, lol), I can honestly say that your parents were a pleasure to deal with. I am happy to have helped them understand their estate planning options and reach their estate planning goals.
