So Many Decisions at a Difficult Time

The death of a loved one is often a very painful experience and is typically followed by a number of issues that need to be addressed at a most difficult time. There may be questions that you need answers to quickly depending on the circumstances. Our Massachusetts probate attorneys are experienced and compassionate professionals who can handle those issues, answer your questions and guide you every step of the way through the process.

When someone dies, there can be many questions that need answers:

What happens to the house?
Who pays the mortgage? Is there a mortgage?
Is there a home equity line of credit?
What happens to the bank accounts?
What about the checks that were written prior to death?
What is the process to transfer or liquidate the retirement account?
What happens to the cars?
Who will run the business?
How are all the personal belongings distributed?
What if there is real estate in two different states or a foreign country?

These are just some of the common questions that require guidance and prompt attention to make sure assets are preserved for the beneficiaries. Putting these important tasks off can sometimes cause major difficulties due to the legal deadlines that exist which many people are often unaware of. By retaining our law firm, you can be sure that all of the legal requirements will be handled in a timely manner. Our approach is to explain the process to you so that you know there is a plan in place to resolve all outstanding matters so that you can spend your time with the people who matter most after a loved one has passed away.

We can help you if you are the Executor, Administrator, Personal Representative, or are an heir or beneficiary of an estate. We can assist you in beginning the probate process or if the estate has already been filed in court, we can assist and help resolve any outstanding issues and move the estate toward conclusion. We also provide legal representation if there is a Will in dispute that may result in a “Will Contest” or if someone believes the Will does not reflect the wishes of the deceased or was improper for other reasons.
