Kelly I. Spencer

Kelly I. Spencer is the founding attorney of Kith + Kin Law, an estate planning practice serving clients in Washington, DC. Kelly focuses on helping families create comprehensive plans for incapacity, death, asset transfer, and long-term legacy goals. Her approach emphasizes education, transparency, and personalized planning so clients can understand how legal documents, ownership arrangements, and planning decisions work together to protect the people and property that matter to them.

Kelly attended Vermont Law School. Before focusing her practice on estate planning, she represented clients in family law, landlord-tenant matters, and civil rights matters. She also adjudicated disability discrimination complaints and counseled Equal Employment Opportunity complainants. That varied legal background gave her experience working with individuals facing personal, financial, housing, employment, and civil-rights concerns, and it informs a planning practice centered on clear explanations and practical decision-making.

Her estate planning work developed from a strong interest in helping clients prepare for incapacity and reduce avoidable burdens on family members. Through Kith + Kin Law, Kelly provides Life and Legacy Planning services designed to address assets, family relationships, decision-making authority, and the transfer of property. She encourages clients to consider both financial assets and nonfinancial priorities, including the instructions and values they want preserved for the people they care about.

Kelly I. Spencer built Kith + Kin Law around the idea that estate planning should reflect each client’s family structure and goals rather than rely on generic documents. Kelly’s prior advocacy experience and current planning work support a client-centered approach to wills, trusts, incapacity planning, and legacy concerns. She helps clients organize important decisions and create plans intended to remain useful as circumstances, assets, and legal needs change over time.
