Carol Van Erven — The Right VAN for the Job

Candidate for Orphans' Court

After more than thirty years of working with individuals and families during life's important moments, I created the Family Guide Library to provide practical, easy-to-understand resources for Maryland families.

I saw how preparation, thoughtful communication, and access to reliable information could make a meaningful difference when families faced difficult decisions. These guides are my way of giving back to the community I'm proud to call home.
