Jessica R. Botelho, Esq.
Hi, I’m jess Botelho.
I founded Botelho Law to help individuals and families prepare for the expected and unexpected by providing customized solutions to estate and long term care planning needs.
My goal is to make the planning process less scary. Talking about aging and death is not easy, but when you’re prepared with legal documents you understand, that were created specifically for your needs, you’ll have peace of mind.
Backround
I grew up in central New York watching my mother and grandmother care for their aging parents, with limited resources or guidance. In law school, the areas of estate planning and elder law were immediately captivating - I discovered that I could help people by providing legal guidance in these areas with compassion. I have focused my legal career exclusively on elder law, estate planning and estate settlement work and I continue to find joy in helping families through challenging times.
I live in Queensbury with my husband and daughter. We love where we live and enjoy all the area has to offer - mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, and canoeing. I also enjoy jigsaw puzzles, gardening, and chasing my toddler around.
