Skilled Legal Assistance In Estate Planning Throughout Massachusetts

Estate planning involves drafting one or more legal documents that contain specific instructions on how your assets and finances should be handled, what your wishes concerning end-of-life care are and what should be done if you become incapacitated. This includes naming heirs and leaving directions on how assets should be distributed.

In Massachusetts, an estate plan may also include instructions regarding an individual’s business, finances and health directive, to be implemented if they become incapacitated. There is also the option to appoint guardians and conservators for children and dependent adults. However, in order to choose and draft the type of planning documents that are most appropriate for you, it is best to work with knowledgeable attorneys like us, at Landry & Meilus, LLP.

Securing Your Massachusetts Assets And Providing Your Loved Ones With Certainty

Our Barre-based law firm has served the greater Worcester area and North Quabbin region since 1986. After carefully listening to and analyzing our clients’ needs and expectations, we advise and help them draft their estate plans. When we develop your plan, we will craft and draft your legal documents to avoid probate, if possible.

We assist our Massachusetts clients in setting up the following documents, among others:

  • Advance directives: These include health care proxies. Through these documents, an individual may appoint someone they trust to make medical decisions for them if they are unable to do so themselves.
  • Power of attorney: A principal can name someone to make decisions on their behalf regarding their business, finances, property and bank accounts, among other matters.
  • Wills: These are valuable tools for leaving instructions on how to distribute assets upon death, pay debts, and name guardians for children and dependent loved ones.
  • Trusts: Individuals can use these tools to bequeath property, control and administer assets in life, and leave further instructions in the event of death. They can also use them to plan for Massachusetts estate tax minimization or avoidance, as well as Medicaid planning.

To ensure that your estate planning is comprehensive, we also manage matters related to defective real estate titles and can help you if your case involves quiet title proceedings. We can assist you in determining the most suitable options and drafting your estate plan to minimize probate litigation and will contests.
