        Gracie’s practice centers around all aspects of estate planning and administration, with a focus on assisting individuals and families to protect what they’ve built and plan confidently for what’s ahead.

        As a member of Verrill’s Private Clients & Fiduciary Services Group, Gracie works closely with clients to develop tailored estate plans that preserve wealth, minimize risk, and ensure smooth transitions across generations. She guides clients through the probate process, trust and estate administration, and general tax and estate planning.

        Prior to joining Verrill, Gracie worked for a boutique real estate firm where she represented buyers, sellers, and developers in residential and commercial transactions. There, she developed a deep understanding of property ownership structures, financing, title disputes, and the practical realities of developing and transferring property in the Boston area. This experience allows her to anticipate and address issues with real property assets and estate planning before they arise.

        In her free time, Gracie enjoys cross-country skiing, golfing, solving crossword puzzles, and spending time with family and friends.
