Friends of Desdemona Smith!

Help Me Protect Your Legacy

I am proud to be running for Register of Wills because I believe every resident of Prince George’s County deserves clear, compassionate, and effective public service during some of life’s most difficult moments.

For more than five years, I have served this community as a dedicated humanitarian, and through that work I have seen firsthand the real needs of our residents. Too many families are forced to navigate complex legal and administrative processes without the guidance, clarity, or support they deserve. I am running to change that.

My mission is to ensure that every resident of Prince George’s County has access to the knowledge and tools needed to protect their legacy and prepare for what comes next. By making these processes easier to understand, we can save families valuable time, reduce unnecessary burdens, and promote greater efficiency for taxpayers.

The Register of Wills is a constitutional office in Maryland that plays a vital role in the lives of families across our county. The office handles the administration of estates, serves as clerk to the Orphans’ Court, and manages matters involving guardianship of minors. This elected position carries both legal responsibility and a deep duty to serve residents with professionalism, fairness, and care.

I am committed to bringing accountability, accessibility, and community-centered leadership to this office. Prince George’s County deserves a Register of Wills who will serve with integrity, treat every family with dignity, and ensure that government works for the people.

With your support, we can build a more responsive, efficient, and compassionate office for all.
