In 1998 I moved to Boston to attend law school and I never left.
My first job out of law school was in a small firm in Somerville where I began acquiring the skills for elder law and estate planning.
In 2010 I opened my own practice in Cambridge where I continue as a solo attorney today applying my training, skills and knowledge gained with each passing year.
The growth of my practice is from the referrals and recommendations of satisfied clients, advisors and professionals I have worked with over the years.

Proper estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.
If you become incapacitated, you won't be able to manage your own financial affairs.
Many are under the mistaken impression that their spouse or adult children can automatically take over for them in case they become incapacitated.

The high cost of long-term care has made planning a critically important issue for most middle class seniors and their families.
In fact, most seniors will likely require some form of long-term care.
Sadly, many of them are unprepared for the significant financial burdens it places on their family's hard earned savings.
Financial devastation looms large for a family facing ongoing care at a rate of $15,000 or more per month.
While some seniors are able to afford private pay care, the cost of long-term care will wipe out savings of all but the wealthiest families in a matter of years.

When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets of the deceased are managed and distributed.
If your loved-one owned his or her assets through a well drafted and properly funded living trust, it is likely that no court-managed administration is necessary, though the successor trustee needs to administer the distribution of the deceased's assets.
The length of time needed to complete the probate of an estate depends on the size and complexity of the estate and the local rules and schedule of the probate court.

When someone passes away, his or her property must somehow pass to another person.
In the United States, any competent adult has the right to choose the manner in which his or her assets are distributed after his or her passing.
Sadly, many individuals don't engage in formal estate planning because they don't think that they have "a lot of assets" or mistakenly believe that their assets will be automatically shared among their children upon their passing.
If you don't make proper legal arrangements for the management of your assets and affairs after your passing, the state's intestacy laws will take over upon your death or incapacity.
