About the Author

Brette McWhorter Sember received her J.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She practiced law in New York state and was a member of the Surrogate's Court committee of the Bar Association of Erie County and was on the Guardian ad litem panel in two counties. Her practice included estate planning and probate.

Sember is experienced in helping seniors sort through options and evaluate choices that involve lifestyle, care facilities, finances and estate and health planning. Her one to one experience with seniors gave her understanding about the deeply personal nature of senior planning and also developed her belief that senior planning is an issue for the entire family. Additionally, her own family experience with aging grandparents makes senior care a day to day issue.

Sember is the author of several self-help legal guides that deal with family and financial issues. She writes and speaks often about law.
