Firm founder Elizabeth M. Vincent brings a unique, deeply personal perspective to her practice.

- Special Needs Trusts: Creating supplemental needs trusts that enhance the life quality of individuals with disabilities while protecting eligibility for vital government assistance such as Medicaid and SSI.
- Settlement Planning Trusts: Designing protective trust instruments for individuals receiving structured settlements or lawsuit payouts from personal injury or class action litigation.
Incapacity Planning and Advance Directives
Planning for sudden illness or cognitive decline guarantees that medical and financial decisions remain in the hands of individuals you trust:
- Durable Powers of Attorney: Authorizing reliable agents to manage banking, real estate transactions, and daily business affairs during periods of incapacitation.
- Healthcare Directives and Living Wills: Clearly defining medical treatment preferences and appointing healthcare patient advocates to make informed decisions.
- Guardianship and Conservatorship: Assisting families in navigating probate court to establish legal guardianship and financial conservatorship for vulnerable elderly relatives.
