A second area of expertise is probate. Ms. Jones assists clients with negotiating Colorado's system for managing and distributing the property of their friend or family member who has passed away.

Ms. Jones also enjoys assisting clients with planning for incapacity, including Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care. She has assisted clients with planning years to months in advance, and with the application through the county department of social services.

Ms. Jones is a member of the American Bar Association, the ABA Real Property and Probate Section, the Colorado Bar Association, the CBA Elder Law Section, and the Adams County Bar Association.
