Tara can facilitate your estate planning needs economically and she will shepherd your family through the administration of your or your family member’s estate. If there is a dispute about your, or your loved one’s, last wishes, Tara has many years of experience is resolving these conflicts using her skills as a mediator, and collaborator and, if when necessary, as a litigator.
