Get some answers to frequently asked questions:

  • Do I need a Boston estate planning attorney if I already have a will?

    Yes—estate planning often goes beyond a simple will. We can review your documents, address gaps, and help adapt your plan to Boston-specific laws and life changes.

  • How does Massachusetts handle estates without a will?

    If you pass away without a will, your estate will be handled under Massachusetts intestacy laws—potentially causing delays or outcomes that don’t reflect your wishes.

  • What’s the benefit of a trust in Boston estate planning?

    Trusts can help avoid Suffolk County probate, protect privacy, and offer more control over how and when your assets are distributed.

  • Can I revise my estate plan after moving to Boston?

    Yes—and you should. Laws and documents can vary by state, so reviewing your plan with a Boston-based attorney ensures everything remains valid and effective.
