Probate

Whether there is a will, no will, or a trust involved, our Massachusetts probate attorneys can respectfully assist with your probate concerns.

Dealing with Questions and Uncertainty
Do you need a guide you through the complicated maze of probate procedures involved in a Massachusetts probate matter? Questions and uncertainties often arise after losing a loved one or dealing with the loss of someone close. It’s not unusual to be left with unanswered questions or to begin hearing inquiries from family members, heirs, financial advisers, creditors. At times it may seem like everyone has an opinion on what you need to be doing. This can leave you unsure of what to do next. It doesn’t need to be that way.

Hassle-free Solutions
Balancing probate law, court procedures, and issues alongside your daily demands can be difficult to manage. Our lawyers help by addressing your questions and identifying your options. You are offered solutions with a clear plan to collect assets, pay liabilities, transfer real estate, make distributions, and to close an estate. Our goal is to make your Massachusetts probate matter hassle-free.

How much will this cost?
Our initial consultation is free. From there, our law office can be involved as much or as little as you choose. An attorney may handle everything from beginning to end or advise you on only issues you seek help with. You deserve an honest, straightforward approach. Your options are presented and then you decide what approach best meets your needs. We can often find a suitable arrangement where we can assist by the hour, on flat fee basis, or based on results achieved.

I don’t want to be judged for the choices I make.
We’re not in the judging business. Instead, we’re advocates for what you want. There are no questions you shouldn’t ask your lawyer. You may speak freely and honestly, we don’t judge.

When you speak with an attorney at Wilson & Whitaker, LLC, your questions are handled with discretion and complete confidentiality.
