Elder Law 20%

Elder Law encompasses general estate planning as well as Medicaid qualification for long term care needs. I work with families to review facility contracts, to protect assets and to prepare and execute Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Directives, Funeral/Cremation instructions, and other appropriate legal documents.

33 years

20%
Estate Planning 20%

Estate planning encompasses planning for management of your health care decisions and your property during your life, and management and disposition of your assets after your death. It also includes an analysis of your assets to determine tax and beneficiary issues. The usual documentation may include Power of Attorney, Health Care Directive, Will and/or Revocable Living Trust, Community Property Agreement, and Cremation/Interment Instructions.

37 years

20%
Probate 20%

Estate settlement begins with an analysis of whether probate is necessary, and involves guiding clients through the appropriate probate or non-probate process. I represent Personal Representatives of estates in probate proceedings in King County, WA, and have also served as court-appointed successor Personal Representative for estates in which the Personal Representative resigned or was removed by the court.

41 years

20%
Trusts 20%

Trusts are entities that hold assets to be managed for the benefit of others. I advise clients regarding many types of trusts, including Revocable Living Trusts, trusts for minors, trusts for disabled persons, and trusts for minimizing estate tax.

41 years

20%
Wills and Living Wills 20%

Every person, regardless of age or wealth, is advised to have a Will to designate who should be responsible for the management and distribution of assets after death. This is a gift you give to your loved ones. Another such gift is a "Living Will", which in Washington is a document expressing your wishes regarding artificial life support if you are in a terminal or unconscious condition. Again, age or wealth do not matter, as accidents can happen to anyone at any time.

A Most Pleasurable Experience

We recently hired Eden to help us get our estate planning (Wills, Powers of Attorney, etc) set up and organized. The whole experience was easy and stress free. Eden knew her stuff and was able to explain each part of the process to us with ease and clarity. Honoring our desire to keep things as simpl...e and efficient as possible, Eden suggested that we set up a Living Trust, something that had never been suggested to us before. Eden was communicative and always available to us throughout the process. We are so happy with her work, and feel such relief that with her expertise this otherwise daunting task is complete. We feel so organized! AND, she makes house calls. Thanks, Eden!!!

Expertly and patiently explained all aspects of our wills to our complete understanding

Eden gave us all the kind support and guidance we needed to accomplish the results we had hoped we would in making out our wills. We are very pleased with the way she continued to aid us in our understanding of the areas we had difficulty with. Eden is extremely knowledgeable in her areas of practice... and we will surely use her again in the future. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an attorney that is caring and personable and who really knows what they are doing.

Fantastic Experience

My husband and I worked with Eden to create our wills and were very satisfied with her services. We were new to the process and had many questions. Eden took time and care to ensure all of our questions were answered and patiently and professionally walked us through the process from start to finish.... Overall, she was an excellent communicator, her expertise was obvious, and our overall experience was incredibly positive. Highly recommend.

Excellent legal service and personable

After our mother passed away, we needed an probate attorney. Eden is extremely knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and compassionate through a difficult time. I am in CA but Eden was able to easily walk me through the process as the Estate trustee via email and phone calls. She is patient and a p...leasure to work with. I highly recommend Eden to anyone in need of the services she provides.
