Estate Planning Documents
Below is an introduction to common and important estate planning tools.
Will
A will arranges for the distribution of your assets upon your death. Wills can also contain instructions for your preferred burial site or funeral home. Without a will, your estate will be subject to the probate distribution laws as defined by the Massachusetts.
Trust
There are many types of trusts and they serve multiple purposes. A trust can protect assets, manage funds for a dependent, and help your family avoid the probate process. Our attorneys will recommend the types of trusts best suited for your situation and goals.
Guardianship and Conservatorship
Guardianships are legal arrangements to provide care for someone unable to make decisions for themselves. Conservatorships are legal arrangements to provide financial management for someone unable to do so themselves.
Healthcare Proxy and Living Will
When you are not able to make your own medical decisions, these documents are important for medical professionals. They identify the steps to take and the individuals who can make decisions on your behalf. They could be needed as a result of an accident or injury, a disease or virus, or due to the aging process.
Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney in Massachusetts designates someone to act as an agent on your behalf. This document can be written to take effect for a specific event or situation, such as when you are unable to make decisions.
