Why Do I Need a Will?

This is a question I am asked every day.  “But I don’t have much.”  Well, what do you have?  A bank account or 2? A car?  Kids?  Real estate?  I don’t know about you, but when I die I do not want the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to decide who will inherit my money, personal belongings, real estate, or who will get custody of my children and pets. 

A will empowers you by memorializing, legally, your wishes as to the distribution of your personal estate, the appointment of a guardian for your minor children, and a caretaker for your pets after your death.   A will is YOUR personalized road map directing the path of your estate to those people YOU pick.  You’re in the driver’s seat.  Our office is your GPS.  Let us help you navigate and accomplish your goals.
