We do this in a friendly, comfortable environment that prioritizes individual integrity and responsibility; respect for and from each of us.

As we begin each new client engagement, we first listen to you and your loved one’s concerns, needs and desires. Then, relying upon our extensive education and experience, our seasoned lawyers create the appropriate vehicles to achieve your goals and objectives. Our team recognizes that each client has his or her own story and financial situation.

Amy Rosenlund - Senior Planner

“I was born and raised in rural Nevada before moving to western Nevada for college and later my career.  I am married and have teenage twins, George and Paisley. I started my career in the legal field in 1993 and in 1996 I started working in this particular area of law helping the elderly navigate life and estate planning matters and Medicaid eligibility for long term care needs and disability.   I quickly realized was how special this area of the law really is.  My husband and I love raising our children in the more rural area of Fernley.  Our family greatly enjoy the outdoors, camping, attending our children’s sporting events, and visiting different outreaches of our state to visit friends and family.  I also enjoy our various mini farm that includes fruit trees, garden, two dogs, two cats, goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits”.

Kharlena Theiss - Assistant

I began working with Life Care Planning in early 2023. Prior to this, I spent eight years at a community bank in Southern California, before I embraced the role of being a dedicated stay-at-home mom. Currently, I enjoy the rewarding title of coach for a non-profit club soccer team. This provides me the privilege of working with incredible, hardworking, and talented youth.

The simple things bring me the most joy, particularly the warmth of summer and the precious moments spent outdoors with my family.  Becoming a part of the Life Care Planning Reno team has been nothing short of amazing. I love the clients we serve, and I look forward to contributing my passion and dedication to this outstanding team.”
