Estate planning built around your intentions.

Trusts, Estate Planning, Probate, and Fiduciary Matters

I help individuals and families create and update estate plans, review longstanding trusts, and make informed decisions about property, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, and charitable legacies.

My approach begins with careful review of the documents, your goals, and the practical choices available.

How I Can Help

Estate Planning & Trusts

Wills, trusts, amendments, restatements, powers of attorney, charitable legacies, and planning for complex assets.

Trust & Estate Administration

Successor trustees, personal representatives, probate, beneficiaries, and fiduciary responsibilities.

Complex & Multistate Planning

Property across state lines, creative assets, special circumstances, and coordination with tax and financial professionals.

Real Estate & Selected Disputes

Deeds, inherited property, easements, HOA governance, and selected fiduciary and civil matters.

Experience and Approach

My background includes many years in Boeing’s technology organization, legal publishing work with author Steve Emanuel, and homeowners’ association leadership. These experiences support a practical, document-focused approach.

I am admitted to practice in Washington, California, and Arizona. Learn more about my experience.

Discussing a Potential Matter

New matters are reviewed for conflicts, deadlines, availability, and fit. Please begin with a short, non-confidential inquiry. Sending an inquiry does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
