I work with families to identify what meets their current and future goals. With proper planning, most families can avoid Probate and Guardianship proceedings entirely. Wills, Trusts, Living Will, Powers of Attorney and Transfer on Death Affidavits are common tools. A large part of my practice includes Medicaid Planning, Long-term Planning, Special Needs Planning.

Helping families understand their rights and the rights of their loved ones when seeking assistance from assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and in-home care providers is a growing part of my practice. We work together to find the right combination of services and protecting family assets when possible.

There are many types of trusts that can be utilized to help families: revocable, irrevocable, dynasty, medicaid, special needs, and qualified income trusts are some of the trusts used when evaluating the best option for each family.

When someone passes away, their family should meet with an attorney and have the Estate reviewed to determine if it is necessary to file the case with Probate Court. If the decedent had $35,000 of probate assets in his/her name on the date of death, a full administration is required. If there are probate assets totaling less than $35,000, a summary proceeding may be an option.
