Ms. Tobin advises and assists surviving spouses and children with the probate of a deceased spouse's estate and planning for the beneficiary's future needs. Ms. Tobin prepares the income tax returns required to be filed by a decedent's estate and assists with income tax planning to match income and expense deductions for maximum deductibility on fiduciary income tax returns. Ms. Tobin assisted her father (who was a WWII Veteran) to plan for his care and medical needs and she navigated the Veteran's Administration rules and requirements. As such, she believes she is better able to advise clients who are planning for their elderly parent's future needs.
