Death, like taxes, is one of the inevitabilities of life. And like taxes, death entails legal complexities that require proper advance planning, followed by competent execution of those plans. We can help you with both the planning and the execution of your estate plan. Estate planning is not only for the very rich. Virtually everyone, for instance, should have a well-drafted Will crafted by a qualified attorney. Among the many things that a Will can accomplish, perhaps the most important is ensuring that your probate assets will pass at your death to the person or persons of your choosing. Without a Will, the law of “intestacy” will govern how those assets are distributed, without regard to your own desires. Additional advantages of having a Will include being able to choose the guardian for your minor children and naming the person you want to be in charge of executing your estate (the “Executor”.) In addition to a Will, a particular estate plan may include various other legal documents that require equal skill in drafting, including trusts, powers of attorney and health care proxies. We can help you decide if one or more of these should be included in your estate plan. Whether an estate plan has been prepared or not, a decedent’s probate assets can only be transferred through a proper proceeding in the Probate Court. This process is known as estate administration and our attorneys are also ready to expertly help you wend through the maze of laws and procedures that govern this area of the law. In addition, we can represent your interests as a potential beneficiary of an estate that is being administered by someone else.
