Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Plymouth families
Do I need a will or a trust in Massachusetts?+
If you own a home in Plymouth and want to avoid probate, a trust is usually the stronger option. But every family is different — I'll help you understand the trade-offs during your consultation.
What happens to my home if I don't have an estate plan?+
Your home would go through probate, which is a court process that can take months and becomes part of the public record. A properly structured plan keeps your home out of probate and in your family's hands.
How does uncontested probate work?+
Uncontested probate means there are no disputes about the estate. I file the petition, manage the court requirements, and walk you through each step so you know exactly what's happening and when.
How do your flat fees work?+
After we talk, I'll recommend the right plan and confirm the flat fee before any work begins. No hourly billing — you'll know the total cost up front.
