Our firm practices primarily in the areas of estate planning, estate and trust administration, Medicaid planning, and guardianship. Collectively, these areas may be referred to as “Elder law”, but this in no way limits our clientele to those who are aging or elderly. We serve a variety of families and individuals in every stage of life as they plan for themselves and loved ones, assist family members with health care and general decision-making, and wind up the affairs of loved ones who pass on.
Throughout our lives, we all do extensive planning. We plan our days, vacations, weddings, birthday parties, and reunions. We also plan lifechanging events such as starting a family, job or career changes, retirement, and our children’s educations. However, we overlook lifetime planning. Lifetime planning is a comprehensive compilation of our most important values and objectives. Lifetime planning may encompass things like charitable giving, regular tithing, wealth transfer planning, college/higher education funding, and creating a legacy for heirs. It may also include things like preparing for the loss of capacity or physical abilities, end-of-life decisions, death, and post-death.
Discussing topics such as family care, incapacity, end-of-life decisions, lifetime gifting gifts, and bequests at death can sometimes be extremely difficult and painful to consider. Part of our job is to help our clients (1) identify their objectives, (2) navigate their options, and (3) create a written plan tailored to their unique situation. We are in the best position to help when clients are willing to share their life stories with us. Who is your family and how are those dynamics? What is your history? How is your health? What are your acquisitions and accomplishments? What are your values and priorities?

I appreciate Lauren Pitman and the entire team at Lifetime Legal. They work on issues that are complex and can be emotional, and created solutions that are streamlined and straightforward. I felt well supported and seen throughout the whole process. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

My wife and I used Lauren Pitman a few years back and loved her service. She was kind, empathetic and most importantly, knowledgeable. She is a true master of her craft. We were so pleased with her that we have been referring her to our friends and family and they have all had the same wonderful experience with her services that we did. If you need legal assistance, stop looking elsewhere and go with Lauren Pitman, you won’t regret it!

Our family has been Andrea Huff, Esq. clients for over 10 years. As circumstances change and our estate plan changes everything is handled quickly and at reasonable cost. Bravo!
-J Fitch
Heidi Magaro has done a fabulous job assisting with my disabled family member and helping guide me in the process of Estate Planning and other important issues. She is compassionate, easy to talk to, and professional. I highly recommend!

These lawyers and paralegals are there to take care of your legal needs. They explain what you need to do and give you a chance to assist and lower cost. Estate planning and probation was what they helped me with and it went quite smooth.
-Cindy B.
My family met with Ms. Magaro this week regarding some urgent matters and she is PHENOMENAL. My mother is elderly and not doing well. Ms. Magaro made every effort to communicate clearly, explained in detail but in a way my mother was able to understand, was efficient, professional, pleasant and kind. I cannot overstate the confusion and chaos our family is going through now that my mother is no longer doing well. It seems the more information we get, the more questions we have and it has been a very difficult time. We found the answers as well as the guidance we needed and will continue to work with Ms. Magaro. If you are dealing with family matters for an elderly parent I would highly, and without hesitation, recommend Ms. Magaro!
-Erin M.
