Estate Planning
I have worked for over four years in the area of estate planning. I have used my expertise and experience to save my clients substantial amounts of money. Some of the resorces available to us as we plan your estate are:

Estate and Gift Tax Planning

Wills and Patient Advocate Designations
Trusts: Revocable Living Trusts, Life Insurance Trusts
End of Life Decisions: Health Care Proxy, or Durable Power of Attorney.
Special Needs Planning: Planning for Children and Adults with Disabilities

Excellent estate planning protection for smaller estates can be accomplished by combining a simple last will and testament along with two other very important documents: the Massachusetts durable power of attorney, and the Massachusetts health care proxy.

I stress with my clients that estate planning isn't just drafting a few wills and trusts. Its important that my client's financial and life scenario is in line with thier plan.

What can I do to help you?

A "what if" book provided to my clients free of charge. This book acts as a map of your life for someone who would assist your family in the event of your disability, or if you pass away.

Accessability, I am available to my clients 24 hours a day.

Timeliness: Basic plan with a will and disability documents before travel is often possible.

Clients facing the possibility of estate tax liability may reduce or entirely eliminate their liability with proper planning; As a result of the new Massachusetts legislation changing the estate tax, the threshold for filing an estate tax return and for paying tax is lower for Massachusetts purposes than it is for federal purposes.

Properly drafted wills may appoint guardians for your minor children.

After a death, the probate process in Massachusetts will take a minimum of one year. Funding a trust will remove trust assets from your probate estate, reduce attorney fees for estate settlement and allow immediate succession of ownership.
