IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER:

- Have I had children, been divorced, gotten married or had a named executor/executrix pass since the will was drafted?
- Have I discussed my health care wishes with my family?
- Have I executed documents regarding my health care wishes in the event I am not able to express my wishes?

In our litigation practice, understanding the wishes and intentions of our client is of utmost importance. It is our role to advise you as to possible outcomes and implications, while considering factors which may be important to you such as family relationships, future care of children and understanding how the law is applied in Probate Court. Our job is not only to be your advocate, but also to give you a full understanding of how the position that you have could ultimately be received by the Judge hearing your case.
As a conservator of estate and person, we strive to work with the conserved individual to meet the mandate of the Connecticut Probate Courts, which is to allow for a person to live in the least restrictive setting possible. I currently serve as conservator for over 40 individuals, with a wide range of living situations (from individual living, group homes, assisted living facilities to nursing homes) and functioning levels.
