A Personal Approach to Trust Administration
Growing up in a small but close-knit family in Andover, Massachusetts, I developed a deep appreciation for strong support systems. That sense of connection and care led me to estate planning, where I saw firsthand how important it is to have a well-structured plan in place for life’s transitions.
During a summer clerkship with Judge Irvin Condon at the Charleston County Probate Court, I was introduced to the complexities of estate planning and trust administration. I saw how the right guidance could make all the difference for families navigating difficult moments, and I knew I wanted to be part of that process.
At Family Estate Planning Law Group, I work with clients to simplify the trust administration process and create estate plans that provide clarity and confidence. My goal is to be a trusted advisor, helping families make informed decisions so they can focus on what matters most.
