I decided to become a lawyer after spending time as a teacher in Los Angeles.
After my time teaching, I knew that I wanted to continue to help others, but in a different way.
I attended law school at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
Being an elder law attorney continues that good feeling for me.
I get to do something I am passionate about and work hard while also knowing I am helping others in the process.
My Grandmother lived to be 105 years old.
She began to require nursing care in her 90s, and finally at 99 needed to be in a nursing home full time.

I know what it is like to be part of making a tough decision regarding loved ones, and making sure they have the best chance at enjoying their later years with the best care there is.
I have friends, who now have children, asking themselves the hard questions about what will happen with their children and their assets should there be a catastrophe.
And I have seen people, still grieving over the loss of a loved one, not quite sure if they can handle the legal aspects of wrapping up the person's estate.

While estate planning means many things, the simple estate plan that most people think of is their last will and testament.
Without a will, there are default laws that dictate what happens to a person's estate, a process called "intestate succession."
A last will can help avoid these rules and ensure an as smooth and orderly administration of your estate as possible.
A true estate plan is more than just a basic will.
To ensure real protection, an estate plan should include a durable power of attorney as well as an advance health care directive.

Wills and trusts are both designed to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
However, there are several key differences.
To determine which type of plan is best suited to you, I need to look at your heir and beneficiaries, the kind of assets you have, the costs involved.
Once I understand your family situation and your financial goals, I will help you make an informed decision about what type of estate planning is best for you.
Some form of a will is appropriate for almost all people.

Because of recent illness, long-term disability, or lack of mental capacity, a person may need to be protected in the management of their affairs.
A guardianship is a request that the court appoint someone, either a family member or a professional guardian, to handle the affairs of a person, often including financial affairs and health care decision-making.
A guardianship itself can take various forms.
It can be limited to handle certain concerns, or it can be expanded to address the right to drive, the right to sign contracts, right to take decisions including nursing home care, and even voting rights.
