Attorney Information
Overview
Lori’s practice is concentrated in the areas of estate planning and incapacity, advising clients on matters involving powers of attorney, conservatorships, advanced health directives, wills, and trusts. Lori handles many legal matters that involve the high emotional intensity of family conflict; for that reason, when necessary and appropriate, Lori uses either tools of mediation or litigation, or both, to resolve conflicts related to conservatorship and post-death probate & trust administrations.
Lori works closely with individuals and their professionals, such as income tax preparers, medical caregivers, and investment advisors in giving advice and preparing customized incapacity and estate planning documents. Lori also works with fiduciaries, both private and professional, and family members in administering conservatorship, probate or trust administrations.
Lori assists clients in preparing and executing estate planning documents to memorialize their testamentary wishes, avoid probate, and reduce or eliminate estate taxes, whenever possible, while reducing the likelihood of conflict and promoting efficiencies in administration.
