Unique Background in Estate Planning

Attorney Rosemary A. Macero is on the list for appointment of guardian ad litem in Middlesex County, Essex County, and Suffolk County. In that capacity, she reviews and approves estates handled by others and makes recommendations to the court. This experience places our firm in the best position to identify potential issues and provide you with the best advice we can in the planning and administration of your estate.

At our Boston area firm, we provide clients with dedicated representation focused on developing the best estate plan for their unique situations. We handle probate administration matters, resolution of Medicaid liens, income and estate tax, and estate-property sales. We also advise same-sex couples on estate planning.

Proactive Approach in Estate Planning

Being proactive is vital in developing an estate plan for your future. Our wealth preservation and probate lawyers will develop an estate plan so you can retain as many assets as possible while continuing to provide care for yourself, including costs related to Medicare. If you own a small business, you also want your estate plan to include succession planning to specify who will take over the day to day operations of your business. If your estate goes into probate, we have the experience to help ensure that your assets are properly distributed and your estate is properly administered, including resolution of Medicaid liens.

Estate-Planning Challenges

Family disputes often arise over the issues of control of an estate or the division of assets. From wills and trusts to conservatorships and guardianships, your estate plan should be clear on who is in charge during the remaining years of your life and following your death.

Whether that person is a family member or a non-family member serving as your legal representative, it is important to clearly express your wishes. This can help reduce the chances of unnecessary, costly and emotionally charged litigation.
