MA Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorneys

North Andover families need estate planning every bit as much as Hollywood stars or wealthy hotel magnates. Regardless of your estate size, it is vital to engage in estate planning so that your loved ones receive the support they need. The challenge many individuals face when creating an end-of-life plan is ensuring it is comprehensive, legal, and provides maximum benefit to beneficiaries.

The FEPLG estate planning team is unique in many ways, truly standing out from other estate planning law firms. From our initial complimentary consultation to our SAVeT™ System, our Family Care Meeting™, and our ongoing client care program, we have your back at every turn. Our client care program allows us to offer relationship-based services rather than transactional services, allowing us to help you care for your family when they need it most.

Regardless of the complexity of your estate, we can help you ensure your assets are quickly and properly transitioned to those you choose. Our system is built around trust-based planning rather than will-based planning to help your family avoid probate, which can be costly, time-consuming, and lacks privacy. If there is no estate plan in place, probate will also be necessary.

When we help you plan for the future, it is never a “one and done” situation; rather, we build strong, solid relationships with all our clients. We understand that as your life progresses, your estate planning needs can change. Marriage, divorce, births, and deaths, along with changes in estate laws, changes in institutional rules, changes in your assets, and changes in your goals or wishes can all require changes to your estate plan. Our ongoing client care program has you covered from start to finish. Together We Plan for LIfe®!

The Many Reasons Estate Planning is Important

You may have convinced yourself that having a comprehensive estate plan to handle your end-of-life needs and asset protection strategies is not necessary. You may believe that you must have a significant amount of assets or that the state probate court can take care of your final directives. In actuality, virtually any adult with any level of assets can benefit from an estate plan. An estate plan can be beneficial for you if any of the following apply:

  • You own any assets at all, no matter how minor;
  • You have minor children to consider;
  • You have a special needs child or other relative you want to provide for after your death;
  • You want to choose how your assets are distributed rather than having the state choose;
  • There are beneficiaries you chose that are not a part of your immediate family;
  • You want to ensure a partner you consider a significant other but are not married to is provided for;
  • You need specific directives to be followed regarding your property and wealth, or
  • You or your spouse have prior marriages and a blended family.

Without a plan in place to protect your family in the event of your death or incapacitation, your estate will be subject to Massachusetts probate court and succession laws. Even if you have a Will in place, a costly, time-consuming probate process is still required. Speaking with the knowledgeable FEPLG team ensures your assets will be distributed simply, and according to your wishes, ensuring that your loved ones are cared for when they need it.
