Amy Escott

Amy Escott is an attorney at Clarke Demas & Berger in Burlington, Vermont. She assists individuals, families, and business owners with real estate, estate planning, business law, and property matters. Her work connects decisions about assets and ownership with the legal arrangements needed to support them. The practice addresses concerns that can arise when clients manage property, plan for the future, or operate a business.

Escott’s education includes a B.A. in Psychology from Princeton University and the Vermont 4-Year Law Office Study Program. This combination brings academic study together with legal training through a law office setting. It provides a foundation for understanding clients’ circumstances and evaluating the documents and obligations involved in transactional matters, while supporting explanations of the choices presented by property and estate planning decisions.

Escott’s work includes public education on estate planning for LGBTQIA+ families. In June 2026, she participated in a Clean Yield panel discussing legal documentation and family protections. The conversation addressed control of finances and property, designation of trusted decision-makers, and arrangements for the transfer of assets after death. This activity accompanies her client work in property matters, estate planning, and business law.

Amy Escott’s professional affiliations include the Vermont Bar Association, American Bar Association, and LGBT Bar Association. Her estate planning and transactional focus helps clients consider how legal documents reflect their intentions for property and family arrangements. Through individual representation and educational discussions, she explains planning considerations that connect present ownership decisions with future needs, helping clients approach legal choices with a clearer understanding of their significance.
