Ms. Donaldson has been practicing in the areas of elder law and estate planning for over ten years. Her practice consists of advising clients on the complex issues encountered in access to public benefits, particularly long-term care Medicaid planning. In addition, Emily assists clients with designing and structuring their estate plans, keeping an eye on cost-efficient approaches to meeting their needs. She has counseled numerous families with special needs children through the complex legal and financial issues raised by the impairment. Many times, these issues require the appointment of a guardian and conservator, as well as trust creation and administration. She is a frequent author and speaker on these and other issues affecting the aged and individuals with disabilities.
