Testimonials

“Thanks, Deborah. You have a way of sifting through the mess and making sense of it. That is a formidable talent.”

Margaret F.
Estate Planning Client

“Deborah met with my spouse and me and helped us to craft a plan that was specific to our unique and specialized situation. The final package of the plan is comprehensive and well-organized and includes easy to follow steps to keep our affairs in line. I feel confident that the plan will withstand the test of time.”

Kathy T.
Estate Planning Client

“Deborah provided a family member with very reliable and sound estate planning advice. She also was very accommodating with her schedule and willingness to travel for this family member, who was very sick.”

Ann M.
Daughter-in-law of Crisis Estate Planning Clients

“Just a quick note to tell you how “blown away” I was with the total professionalism that I received from you and Mary Ann. The final binder presentation was so detailed; it made everything easy to follow. You covered everything……………you anticipated needs that I didn’t even think about.”

Erna H.
Estate Planning Client

“Thank you so much for your care and compassion toward our family. I realize we are not wealthy clients but we sincerely value your advice regarding their estate plan.”

Yvonne B.
Daughter of Estate Planning Clients

Estate Planning

WHAT IS ESTATE PLANNING?

The essence of estate planning is providing for your own disability and ensuring through your love, wisdom and resources that your loved ones will be cared for after you are gone in the same way you cared for them in life. All of us will ultimately face death, and many of us will face disability at some time in our lives. Estate planning engages us in confronting the financial and emotional consequences of death and disability, and allows us to take control of our futures.

PRACTICE AREAS IN ESTATE PLANNING

  • PLANNING FOR DISABILITY, including Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Living Wills, HIPAA Releases, Letters of Instruction

  • PROTECTING FAMILIES AND ASSETS including preparation of Wills and Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts for tax, estate, and long term care planning

  • SPECIAL/SUPPLEMENTAL NEEDS TRUSTS AND POOLED TRUSTS

  • PLANNING FOR DISABLED OR ELDER FAMILY MEMBERS

  • PLANNING FOR YOUNG FAMILIES

  • PLANNING FOR LGBT CLIENTS

  • PLANNING FOR UNMARRIED COUPLES

  • PLANNING FOR SECOND MARRIAGES AND BLENDED FAMILIES

  • PLANNING FOR “NEW ADULTS”

TSLF is Winding Down to Retirement
times-changing-post
When we started our elder law practice in 1999, 60s sounded old(ish) and far away from our own ages.  We accepted without question the notion that someone 62+ was an "elder" under the definitions of government assistance programs.  Fast forward a bunch of years and now that we are in our 60s ourselves, 60 doesn’t seem that old really at all.  What do you mean we are now "elders" ourselves??!!!  As we have gotten older, we have experienced with our own parents and families many of the challenges that we have counseled our clients about, and have juggled our caregiving...
