Real Estate & Zoning
Start with the property decision in front of you.
Property questions often arrive alongside a family transition—an estate to settle, a trust to administer, or a home changing hands. A focused conversation can clarify the question, the timing, and the right next step.
Prepare for the first conversation
A brief, general overview helps identify the question and the right next step. Be prepared to share:
- The property decision or issue that needs attention.
- The documents, notices, or prior decisions connected with the question.
- Any known deadline or scheduled proceeding.
- Whether an estate or trust is part of the surrounding circumstances.
Start by defining the question.
Property and zoning questions vary widely with the facts, timing, and decision-makers involved. The first conversation is about identifying the legal question and the practical path forward—and if the matter calls for a different kind of attorney, Jennifer will say so and point you toward alternatives.
When property is part of an estate or trust
Property connected with an estate or trust can raise questions about authority, administration, and next steps. Jennifer can help separate those questions and address the ones that belong with the estate or trust work already underway.
Bring the property question that needs an answer.
Share a general overview of the property, the decision you face, and any known deadline.
