Real Estate Law

Represent both Buyers and Sellers of Real Estate to ensure that proper procedures are followed during the acquisition or sale of property.

Probate

Assist families and fiduciaries through the Massachusetts probate process by preparing and filing the necessary court documents to have a Personal Representative formally appointed by the Probate and Family Court. Once appointed, we guide the Personal Representative through the administration of the estate, including identifying and inventorying estate assets, addressing creditor claims, and distributing property to beneficiaries in accordance with the will or Massachusetts law.

Family Law

Represent individuals in divorce proceedings, adoptions, guardianships, and child custody, such as drafting custody agreements, wills, prenuptial agreements, and other documents. 

Estate Planning

Estate planning allows you to stay in control of how your assets are managed during your lifetime and passed to your family after your death. We assist clients with Wills, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Trusts, and elder planning, with particular emphasis on using Massachusetts real estate trusts and other planning tools to minimize or avoid probate. With the right structure in place, your home and other assets can transfer smoothly to loved ones while reducing administrative burdens and legal costs for your family.

Loan Closings

If you are purchasing with lender financing, we can handle the closing for both you and the bank. This makes for a controlled, smooth transaction. Our highly experienced attorneys and paralegals will go over all financial figures with you prior to closing so that we have ample time to answer any questions.

Business Law

We represent companies from their beginning stages, including formation, corporate governance, and agreements among owners, through their evolution and development.
