Philosophy
Ellen knows that estate planning and estate administration are highly individualized endeavors. No two clients are exactly alike. She makes no assumptions about what you should do. Instead, Ellen pays close attention to your personal needs and objectives, the resources you wish to allocate to the project, and your time frame for getting the work done. Only then does she offer recommendations, outline the scope of the project, and proceed efficiently and thoroughly, keeping you informed of her progress every step of the way. Ellen responds to your questions in a timely fashion, and works with careful attention to detail and comprehensive follow through.
