About Jennifer
Biography
In law school I was fortunate enough to intern for the presiding Judge of the Denver Probate Court where I saw first hand the difficulties, cost and toll on families going thru various Probate and Mental Health legal actions.
Working and volunteering in the senior industry has given me an opportunity to learn a great deal about the issues that older adults and their families face during the aging process. I realized an enormous gap exists between Estate Planning and how life actually plays out and sometimes seniors and families get caught in the middle.
More often than not, disputes in the areas of trusts and estates arise because people don't understand the law and family dynamics come into play. Many of these conflicts can be resolved prior to litigation.
