Areas of Practice

Estate Planning

Each person has a unique situation that deserves special attention to accomplish your specific desires. Everyone needs a Will, possibly a trust, a financial power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, advance directives, and other planning tools to ensure that you and your family are prepared for the future.

Special Needs Trusts

Special Needs Trusts (also known as Supplemental Needs Trusts) provide planning benefitting people with disabilities so that they are not disqualified from receiving governmental benefits.

Probate

Probate is the legal process of ensuring that a deceased person’s debts are paid, that their assets are properly distributed, and that legal title to assets transfers properly. With a properly executed, self-proved Will that appoints an independent executor, the process is straightforward. When someone dies intestate (without a Will) or if the Will has deficiencies, the process becomes more complicated.

Medicaid Planning

Medicaid provides benefits to offset the cost of skilled nursing care in a nursing home or at home. To qualify for Medicaid, an applicant may need assistance to navigate Medicaid’s rules in order to meet its stringent asset and income requirements.

Child Support Enforcement

Unpaid child support is enforceable well after a child emancipates, regardless of the age of the child or the parent who is owed the support. Legal guidance is necessary to maximize recovery of the child support arrears.
