Certified Elder Law and Estate Planning Attorney in Washington, DC

I engaged Rigjt Size Law and David Tayor twice in recent years and have been very pleased with his help and services. The first time was when a very good friend passed away several years ago and I had the duty of Executor. Engaing David was very helpful, and he alerted me to the various pitfalls and issues I had to deal with, things that are not alway obvious when one is handling the responsibility as an Executor. More recently, in the process of revising my Will I decided to use a Living Revocable Trust instead, and David was extremely helpful in walking me through the details and requirements of this arrangement. Most importantly, David has a wealth of local knowledge about dealing with local institutions in the greater DC area, such as charities, non-profits as well as with local banks etc.Hi local knowledge a and personal contacts are invaluable for anyone in the greater DC area dealing with the varioous issues related to elder law. He is a specialized elder law attorney, as well as a trusts and estates lawyer, and he has provided good advice on other related issues such as measures to take and sample recommenced companies dealing with managed care in the event of mental or physical incapacity etc. I would recommend him for anyone in the greater DC area for dealing with any of these issues.

Very professional and will walk you step by step through the process.

What a great little lawfirm I found in my neighborhood! David took care of everything I needed with estate planning. And he was spectacular in explaining beneficial options to me. Also, both Maria and Armando in the office were kind and very helpful.

I found David Taylor through the Capitol Hill Village to review and update my will. I was greeted by his gracious office manager, Maria. As David reviewed the old will that I showed him, he immediately identified careless and potentially costly errors that were not in compliance with my wishes. We discussed my wishes and intent. He assured me that the papers he prepared for me are correct and in compliance with my wishes. As I can’t anticipate when or what might happen, we discussed possible options. For now, it appeared to him that I already had a lot of those things in place. I feel comfortable that if I become infirm, he will discuss further options with my trustee. I feel that when I pass away, my trustee can call him for guidance and help; and that he and his staff will treat my trustee with kindness and understanding. That was my primary concern and wish. David has shown himself a man of great compassion and integrity. He and his staff are stellar, exceeding my expectations. I feel grateful to have him recommended to me by the CHV.

Anyone considering aging-in-place in the District of Columbia would do well to consult with Right Size Law. David Taylor specializes in Elder Law in DC and he is passionate about it. My daughter, who lives in London, found Right Size Law online when searching for a local lawyer to revise my will. Our initial consultation with him helped me realize that I needed something more than a simple will. Although I don’t have a large or complicated estate, I am a healthy 84-year-old and may well live to be 100. As soon as David heard that I am intent on “aging in place” in my Capitol Hill home, he explained the many benefits of a Living Trust in planning ahead for those last years of life. He even arranged conferences to include my daughter via Zoom so we could come up with a workable plan together. He clearly explains how to qualify for long-term medical care in your own home in the District and how to legally prevent being permanently placed in a nursing home situation against your wishes. This is especially helpful for those whose Executor may live in another city and may not be immediately available in a medical emergency. A key component in my Living Trust has been provision for a Health Care Management professional. If my health should decline, she will coordinate with my Executor to advocate for my wishes. She would visit my home on a regular basis to oversee my medical care. Legal representation is ensured by Right Size Law if it’s needed. My mind is now at ease about my coming years and I look forward to working with David and his great team in the future.

I recently worked with David Taylor of Right Size Law to update my estate plan and came away with a much greater appreciation for the value of an attorney who specializes in elder law. I assumed my existing estate plan, prepared only eight years ago, would need only modest revisions. Instead, David identified important changes in the law and planning opportunities that materially affected how my estate plan should be structured. His recommendations went beyond updating documents. He incorporated thoughtful, flexible planning strategies designed to address future needs and adapt to circumstances that cannot be predicted today, particularly those involving beneficiaries. What impressed me most was his ability to think several steps ahead. Rather than creating a static set of documents, David developed a plan that anticipates change and provides options for a variety of future scenarios without having to revisit and revise the entire estate plan. Also, the cost was comparable to what I paid for estate planning services from an attorney who was not specialized in elder law. The difference in expertise, insight, and sophistication was substantial. I recommend David Taylor. My experience demonstrated the value of working with someone whose practice is devoted to elder law and estate planning.

When we first contacted Right Size Law (RSL) we wanted to get a Will done but in discussion with Mr.Taylor we realized more was required to protect us as we aged. RSL worked with us on Estate Plans that included answers to questions about elderly care and end of life issues. All questions were answered in a timely, thoughtful way in a very comfortable environment. We would highly recommend this company for these important services.

I am so happy that my trust is almost finished. It's such a relief! David and his helpful staff guided me step-by-step through the process. I highly recommend his services.

David is thoroughly knowledgeable and taught us so much about what is important about a creating a trust, even though we thought we knew it all. So glad we found him!

My husband and I went to David because we often travel together and were concerned about the distribution of our assets should the inevitable occur. David answered all of our questions and worked patiently through our unique scenario. He held our hands every step of the way and made himself available whenever we had questions. He also raised some valid points that made us think long and hard about some of the decisions we finalized in our living trust, to include who would step in if we became ill, disabled, or needed long-term care. I would gladly recommend David and the Right Size Law firm to anyone looking for an elder law and estate planning attorney in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. Don't hesitate and contact him now.
