Estate Planning & Probate for Families in Braintree
I work with Braintree families to make sure their children are protected, their home is handled properly, and their loved ones have a clear plan — not confusion — if something happens.
Planning Ahead
Estate Planning
Braintree families are often balancing busy schedules with the knowledge that they should have an estate plan in place. The good news is that the process doesn't have to be complicated. I help you choose the right approach — will or trust — based on your goals, your family, and what you own. Then I handle the drafting, the details, and the signing so you can move forward knowing it's done right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Braintree families
Do I need a will or a trust?+
It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Homeowners in Braintree often benefit from a trust because it avoids probate and keeps things private. I'll help you decide during your consultation.
What happens if I die without an estate plan?+
Massachusetts law determines who inherits your assets — and it may not match your wishes. Your family would also have to go through probate court, which adds time, cost, and stress.
Do all estates go through probate?+
No. Assets held in a trust, joint accounts with survivorship, and accounts with named beneficiaries typically bypass probate. I help families set things up so probate is avoided when possible.
How do flat fees work?+
I confirm the flat fee after your consultation and before any work begins. You'll know exactly what you're paying — no hourly rates.
