We represent heirs and fiduciaries that are either challenging or defending wills and trusts. We also represent trustees and trust beneficiaries in disputes arising out of the administration or investment of trust assets. Under Massachusetts Probate Law, joint assets and living trust assets do not pass through wills or go through the probate process. Only solely held assets do.

If a loved one has become incapacitated and thus becomes unable to handle his or her own affairs we can help you obtain you in obtaining legal authority through guardianship or conservatorship proceedings. This will enable you to legally act on your loved one's behalf. We can also help you plan ahead to ensure that involvement will not become necessary or at least can be minimized. Our probate and estate group will strive for the best possible outcome for each and every client.

Optimum estate planning for smaller estates is best approached in Massachusetts by combining a simple last will and testament along with two other very important documents: durable power of attorney, and the health care proxy. Wills should form the foundation for any size estate or probate plan. Reciprocal Massachusetts wills may fulfill the needs of a modest family estate. A will, if properly drafted by a qualified and experienced estate planning attorney, can provide an effective, affordable way to transfer assets through the probate process.
