She advises clients on estate planning, probate and estate or trust administration, Medicaid and elder law planning, special needs planning, and related private-client matters.

Those subjects often require coordination among legal documents, family goals, and practical financial considerations.

Her practice includes planning before incapacity or death as well as guiding fiduciaries afterward. These matters can involve beneficiary arrangements, tax and asset concerns, care planning, property transfers, and compliance with probate or benefits rules.

Kristen Prull Moonan has built a Providence practice around the legal needs of families planning for aging, disability, succession, and the transfer of assets. Moonan combines trusts and estates work with elder law and related transactional experience. She helps clients structure plans, understand fiduciary responsibilities, address public-benefit considerations, and manage probate or trust administration while accounting for property, business interests, and individual family circumstances.
