Estate Planning & Probate

Lawyer in the Boston Metro Area: Estate Planning and Probate

Over 18 Years of Experience

If you have not made a plan for the division of property or the care of minor children in the event of your death, you want an experienced estate planning attorney to guide you through the process. Without a will, trust or other estate planning strategy, your assets will be divided according to state law and may not go where you intended.

Contact my office or call me at 781-780-3012/toll-free at 866-688-6587 to arrange a free initial consultation.

Plan for Your Future

I work closely with individuals and families who need to plan for the orderly distribution of property and the care of minor children in the event of death. When you hire me to assist you with your estate planning, I will start by gathering as much information as I can about your financial situation, as well as your objectives. I will carefully explain the different tools available to help you meet your goals, including the use of wills and trusts, creating joint ownership in property, and lifetime gifts.

Once you have determined which strategy will best fit your needs, I will prepare and execute all the documents required to put your estate plan in place, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care proxies. If you have minor children, I will also help you identify potential caregivers and put potential guardianships in place.

Because your life is constantly changing, your estate plan should be regularly reviewed and updated. I will work with you to revisit and revise your estate plan whenever there are major life changes, such as birth, death or divorce.

Helping You Through the Probate Process

I work with executors, administrators, personal representatives and estate beneficiaries, helping you navigate the probate process and successfully settle the estate of a loved one. I will prepare and file all documentation necessary to complete the probate process and will represent you in any hearings or proceedings in probate court. I will help you prepare and file an accounting of the assets of the estate, pay all final debts and taxes of the deceased, and oversee the orderly distribution of assets. I also handle probate litigation, including will contests.

To set up a free initial consultation, contact me or call my office at 781-780-3012/toll-free at 866-688-6587. I am located near the Lynn City Hall and the Lynn District Court. Evening and weekend hours are available by special request. In estate planning and probate cases, I will travel to meet with you in your home, if necessary. I accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
