Estate Planning

Whether it’s large or modest, simple or complex, every person has an estate. But, do you have an estate plan? If not, it’s definitely time to consider it because, without one, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will decide how to distribute your assets after you pass away. That’s right – without a second thought regarding your wishes, the Commonwealth simply follows its established guidelines for asset distribution. Having an estate plan in place will not only avoid unnecessary costs and time associated with the probate process, but it will also reduce stress and protect your loved ones. For some families, a living trust is a key part of that plan. Moreover, an estate plan will ensure that a person of your own choosing can make medical and financial decisions for you in the event of incapacity. At O’Connell Law, we take the time to get to know you and understand your concerns, goals, and hopes for the future.
