I am so happy you came to visit and I hope you learn a little bit about me, and most importantly why estate planning is for everyone.
I have been an attorney for 18 years, and my main goal has been to help. I have had the opportunity to practice housing law, criminal law, and Veterans law. However, I'm so moved by estate planning because it is one area that affects us all and it gives me the chance to help families just like yours.
My husband and I have a daughter and she is truly the light and joy of our lives.
We've worked hard to keep her safe and provided for. However, when my husband and I reviewed our own estate plans, we realized we had not updated our plans to reflect how our daughter would be taken care of in the event we became incapacitated or passed away. We also realized we did not have a written plan on how we would ensure our home and other assets would easily pass on to our daughter.
We realized it was time to be proactive in our planning and intentional in the legacy we leave for our daughter. She is the real motivation behind my passion for helping other parents plan for and protect their children.
Practicing estate planning also makes me think of my own childhood, which is also a driving force in my passion for Estate Planning. I am from a small town in Central Florida where I grew up with my sister and Mom and Dad. My parents have been married for 43 years, and my mother comes from a large family- 10 siblings.
I remember as a child when a family member would get sick or pass away the number of times my mom had to make the tough medical decisions or make funeral arrangements for my family members.
I've seen what the lack of estate planning does to families. Therefore, we as adults need to ensure that we plan for ourselves, protect our families and pass on all the things that are important to us.
That is why I am committed to making Estate Planning as comfortable, simple and affordable as possible.
Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my daughter and husband where we love to sing, dance and play any sport that is in season. Our free time is also devoted to our families in Florida, Kentucky, and our church in Maryland.
