Teal helps clients design and administer estate plans that minimize their tax burden and preserve wealth for future generations. She regularly prepares revocable and irrevocable trust agreements, wills, financial powers of attorney, and advance health care directives. She helps clients establish business entities to fulfill wealth transfer and business succession goals, and assists clients with trust and probate administration.

She also has experience creating and implementing a broad range of customized wealth transfer strategies for high-net-worth individuals and families, including dynasty trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, intentionally defective grantor trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, privacy trusts and charitable trusts.

Approaching each client and matter with empathy and understanding, Teal enjoys connecting with her clients and their families, learning more about their goals, and providing them with peace of mind. She works with each client to ensure that they understand their estate plan and are comfortable with the decisions they are making regarding the future.

Outside of work, Teal enjoys reading, traveling, and camping with her husband and their two Australian Shepherds.
