Who I Am And Why I Do What I Do

First, allow me to tell you a little about why I chose this line of work. It’s because I care about people and I care about community.

I grew up in White Bear Lake and graduated from White Bear Lake High School. I live in the area and attend church locally. Although I have extensive experience in business and in the U.S. Navy (where I held top-secret clearance), I have stayed true to my roots.

Estate planning fits in with this community focus. It’s not just about writing wills and probating estates; it’s about helping people. Through my work at Sheila J. Kelly Attorney at Law, I can make an honest living while improving the lives of the people around me.

Retain me, and I can help you with these and other estate-related matters:

  • Estate planning and elder law. I help clients of all ages to protect their assets, establish legacies for their families and retain control of their health care decisions. I do this using a variety of powerful estate planning tools, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives (living wills) and beneficiary designations. I understand the issues my clients face and work hard to find the best solution for their situation.
  • Estate administration and probate. I help personal representatives (executors) to manage estate assets after the death of a loved one and guide them through the probate process. I also represent folks in matters involving trusts. If you have been entrusted to oversee a loved one’s estate, or the person’s personal or financial well-being as he or she ages or becomes incapacitated, I can help ensure that you fulfill your legal and personal responsibilities.

What You Can Expect From Me

Because I am a solo practitioner, I am free to focus directly on my clients. As a compassionate female attorney, I have the capacity to listen, understand and resolve the problems you face. Retain my services, and you will never have to deal with an intermediary. I will meet with you personally, listen to your concerns and discuss your options in plain language. I will educate you to make informed decisions about the matters that affect you. I will look at your whole estate and assemble a plan that meets your unique needs.

My goal is to help you reach your goals while feeling comfortable with every decision you make along the way. Because I respect your finances, I will strive to meet your estate planning needs while offering a good value.
