Estate Planning For Families With Grandchildren
Now that your children are on their own and starting their own families, you have the joy of having grandchildren. Protecting and providing for your loved ones takes on a whole new meaning.
Ensuring that you have an updated estate plan in place means securing the future for both your children and grandchildren. The Parents Estate Planning Law Firm offers services specifically tailored to new grandparents, including those who may have custody of their grandchildren, to ensure that their legacy is well-protected and their family’s needs are met.
If you haven’t created a plan around what will happen to your assets when you die, or who will make decisions for you if you become incapacitated, now is the perfect time to do so.
If you have estate planning in place, now is a good time to review your plan to make sure it is up to date and accurately reflects your wishes. We will review your plan and help you update it, if necessary.
Estate Planning in Massachusetts
Massachusetts estate planning laws differ in many respects from other states and have nuances that need the expertise and attention of an experienced Massachusetts estate planning lawyer.
Having a lawyer help you with the estate planning process from the beginning will ensure that all elements of your plan are consistent and work well together, accurately reflecting your priorities. Any mistakes in your plan could end up costing your family more money and lead to delays and inconvenience after you pass away.
