Planning for Complex Estates in the Merrimack Valley
Andover estates often carry real complexity, from business interests to estate-tax exposure, and the plan needs to match.
Andover is a community of professionals, executives, and business owners, where estate planning often involves real complexity: significant retirement and investment assets, equity and deferred compensation, a closely held business, and a meaningful exposure to the Massachusetts estate tax.
We help Andover families structure wills and trusts that avoid probate and protect privacy, plan around the Massachusetts estate tax that begins at two million dollars, and put business-succession plans in place so a company passes to the next generation or to partners without a crisis. For families with a member who has special needs, we build special needs trusts that protect benefits.
We also handle the elder-law side and guide families through probate and trust administration at the Lawrence session of the Essex Probate and Family Court. We meet Andover clients at our main office in Topsfield, by appointment in North Andover, or by video.
