Hannah E. Zarzecki
About Hannah
Hannah specializes in elder law and offers comprehensive legal services to individuals, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries, all whilst guiding them through the complexities of fiduciary litigation, guardianships, estate planning, and the administration of estates and trusts. In her fiduciary litigation practice, Hannah handles a wide range of cases, including will and trust contests, trust modifications, fiduciary removal proceedings, estate administration controversies, and guardianships (both contested and uncontested).
With a background in gerontology, Hannah brings a unique understanding of the emotional, physical, and mental challenges associated with aging and disability. This expertise allows her to provide both legal and compassionate support, particularly in sensitive matters such as navigating the loss of a loved one during estate administration, managing the intricacies of litigation, or assisting families seeking guardianship for their loved ones.
Hannah also concentrates her practice on special needs planning and planning for disability and/or long-term care planning, specifically by aiding clients with the planning needed to ensure that they or their loved ones are provided for without being disqualified from receiving government benefits, such as Medical Assistance or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Actively engaged in the professional community, Hannah is a member of the Maryland State Bar Association’s Elder Law and Disability Rights Section, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), and the Howard County Bar Association.
Outside of her practice, Hannah resides in Catonsville, Maryland with her husband, daughter, two cats, and dog. In her free time, she enjoys painting, cooking, and spending quality time with her family.
