Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in North Reading do?
An estate planning attorney helps you prepare legal documents for managing your assets and healthcare decisions. This includes wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare proxies. They also advise on Massachusetts estate tax planning and probate avoidance strategies.
Do I need a will in Massachusetts if I have a trust?
Yes, even with a trust you typically need a pour-over will to catch any assets not transferred into the trust. Massachusetts law requires a will to be signed by two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. Without a will, your estate may be distributed according to Massachusetts intestacy laws.
How long does Massachusetts probate take?
Massachusetts probate can take 6 to 12 months for a simple estate, but complex estates may take longer. The process includes filing a petition, notifying heirs, and settling debts. An attorney can help you navigate the Middlesex Probate and Family Court in Cambridge or Lowell.
