Meet Eleanor

I'm not here to sell you a document. I'm here to help your family avoid heartache.

I've practiced estate planning for 25 years, in the same town, with many of the same families across two and three generations. The work is intimate. It's about love, written down.

I won't sell you a kit you could buy online. What I do is sit with you for an hour, learn about your family, and design something that holds up — not just on paper, but in real life, when it's needed.

And then we stay in touch. Plans aren't files in a cabinet. They live alongside your family — through marriages, births, illnesses, retirements — and they need to grow with you.

"Estate planning is the most personal kind of law I could practice. It's about love, written down."

From clients

"Eleanor sees the whole family — not the file."

"Eleanor walked us through a question we'd been avoiding for years. We left her office with a plan, and a real sense of peace."

— Margaret & Tom L. · client since 2018

"When my mother needed long-term care, Eleanor's planning gave us options we wouldn't have had otherwise. She made an impossible time bearable."

— Daniel S. · client since 2015

"Three generations of our family work with Eleanor. There's no higher recommendation I can give."

What to expect

A simple, considered process.

1

Initial Conversation

A 60-minute conversation, with no fee. We talk about your family, your assets, and the outcomes that matter to you.

2

Plan Design

I design a plan tailored to your goals — not a template — and walk you through it together.

3

Drafting & Signing

Documents are drafted, refined, and signed in the office with witnesses and notary.

4

Ongoing Review

Every three years — or whenever life changes (a marriage, a birth, a move, a loss) — we sit down again.

Let's start with a conversation.

No pressure. No commitment. Just a chance to talk through what matters most to your family.
