Estate Planning 40%

“Estate planning” is the process through which we help people consider what their assets are, plan how they want those assets distributed after their death, and decide which documents and strategies will best accomplish those goals. Careful planning can maximize the funds that are available for distribution by minimizing tax liability and by avoiding the problems and expenses that can result if someone dies without a valid will.

Probate 40%

Probate is the procedure under Delaware law through which a decedent’s financial affairs are settled and any remaining assets distributed. This process is handled or overseen by the estate’s executor or administrator. We can help the executor or administrator fulfill his or her duties, which include filing documents with the Register of Wills’ office on a set timetable, filing tax returns, and making decisions about paying off debts and distributing assets.

"I went to law school with Tanya and we were on law review together. She always struck me as intelligent and hard working. Recently, a family member needed help with estate planning, which led me to reconnect with Tanya. We hired her and were thoroughly impressed. I'll be recommending Tanya to all of my family/friends/clients who are in need of assistance with probate/estate."

"I went to law school with Tanya and then worked with her at a firm after law school. Tanya was top of our class in school, and knew from the start that she wanted to work in estate planning and probate. Tanya's intelligence and work ethic make her excel in the legal field, while her personality and kindness make her an excellent choice for estate matters."
