Planning a medical advance directive and will is one of the most impactful ways to ensure you are taking care of those people, things and organizations that are most important to you. No matter your level of assets, it is important to plan for the unexpected. But every person, family and situation is different.

PROBATE
At Kleiner Feldman Plotkin we work directly with families who have recently lost a loved one, as well with the D.C. Superior Court Probate Division, to ensure that personal estates and properties are settled and distributed to beneficiaries in the manner the deceased had intended. We identify and notify creditors; determine assets; pay debts; prepare and file tax returns; and distribute the estate per the will or state law. We understand these are especially difficult times, as we have each been in a similar situation with our own parents or grandparents...
WHAT YOU'VE SAID
"After being declined for Medicare three times over 18 months, I sought legal advice. I wish I'd found Kleiner Feldman Plotkin sooner.
Lisa took my case, organized my timeline, and assembled all of my necessary documentation. She contacted agencies in D.C. and called people at SSA (and this during the pandemic lockdown when offices were closed and people worked remotely).
Within weeks I had a phone appointment with SSA. That 45 minute call was all it took for SSA to sort out my paperwork and grant me Medicare AND my much earned pension.
I cannot be more grateful. Thank you, Lisa!
A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and a years worth of worry and anxiety dissolved in minutes."

"The mortgage was in my name and I needed to know that if I died first he'd have our home to remain in without having to move or sell.
Lisa listened and suggested a Transfer Upon Death Deed. Within a few days and a few documents, years of worry disappeared.
These are some
of the smartest, kindest. most resourceful and CONNECTED people you will ever meet."
