How can you help us avoid expensive probate court?
That’s easy. Create a Living Trust.
Do this now, avoid probate court forever. When we create a trust, we’ll spell it all out: Who gets what. How much. When they get it. How they get it. We’ll be complete and clear with all the right documents. There’s nothing left to probate about!
C’mon in—we’ll talk assets, too. Which ones don’t apply to probate. Based on situations, size and type of assets you leave behind. We’ll talk too about how to use certain assets, and under what conditions.
Got any out-of-state real estate? Let’s move that into your trust—so you’ll avoid probate in that other state.

Can we create a Living Trust instead of a Will?
Absolutely. And why might you want a Living Trust?
Say… you’re married, live in Massachusetts, and have over $1 million in assets. We can lower your estate taxes, which are the highest in the country here in MA.
Also… we can protect your beneficiaries from getting money before they can handle it. Maybe due to substance abuse or rampant overspending, for example. We can create a plan to give them funds from time to time.
Or, perhaps your beneficiary is young. Fine, let’s create a Living Trust to provide money for their schooling. Or maybe you don’t want them to get their share until they’re 30. We’ll figure it out—together.
Think of it this way… A trust adds the dimension of time to an estate plan. So that you can have things take place after you pass, at the right time(s), under the right conditions.

Why should I trust you with my estate planning?
The short answer? Experience. Focus. Motivation. Clarity. Nerdy.
I’ve been doing this since 1992. I’m focused in this single area of law. I wake up and read about estate planning—everyday. I have an advanced degree from Boston University. I’m built to master the one vs. be good at the many. Just Wills & Trusts.
We’ll explain everything… In. Plain. English. So you’ll know what to consider, what to do, what to change, and when. And, everything else to feel confident that all your affairs are in order.
We’ll write you twice a year to keep you posted. Things change (ex. tax laws). We’ll let you know if this affects your estate plans. And what to do about it.

What will you do for me after I die?
Things like…
Meet with your family to explain next steps. Deem who’s in charge. List assets, debts, their values and owners. Reevaluate size of estate. Identify tax forms to complete. Work with tax professionals if/as needed. Clear any liens. Transfer assets accordingly.
In other words, we’ll do the things required to ensure your survivors are good to go. Maybe they want to sell off real estate or other assets, for example. No problem, that’s why we’re here, it’s what we do, and why you want to plan ahead. So we can execute based on your wishes.

Why do you charge for a first-time consultation?
Because we stay busy with the non-procrastinators. We charge $150 to provide valuable information. This allows us to stay focused on clients who are truly interested. We apply this amount as a credit if we start working together within 2 weeks of our initial meeting.
That charge plus this website messaging shows that we care about clean, clear and correct communication. You’ll experience this yourself from the moment we talk, to-and-through the entire estate planning process.

Why do you focus on just wills & trusts?
Two reasons…
(1) There’s plenty to learn about with just Wills & Trusts. Property laws, tax laws, and crafting our skills to clearly explain all that. And…
(2) Our parents taught us to be good at something vs. so-so at many things.

Can you help me save estate taxes?
Yup, again.
I studied and earned an advanced degree in tax law at Boston University. I know taxes. I know Massachusetts. Meaning… the team and I know how to deal with the heavy estate tax laws around these parts. And the ways to lower them.

We just moved from out of state—what changes should I make to my current will?
Depending where you’re moving from… you might need a trust do deal with Massachusetts estate tax law. This type of tax is currently in only 12 states. So your chances are 12 in 50.
Also, you should get a health care proxy. This is a document that Massachusetts accepts, because they do not recognize a living will.

Why is creating a will or trust not a hassle?
Let me count thy ways.
