How we help North Andover families:
Estate and Elder-Law Planning in the Merrimack Valley
In North Andover, much of our work is planning ahead, before a health crisis forces rushed and costly decisions.
North Andover is a Merrimack Valley community of established families and a growing number of households caring for aging parents at the same time as raising their own children. Much of the estate and elder-law work we do here is about planning ahead, before a health crisis forces rushed decisions.
We meet North Andover families by appointment locally and help them put the essentials in place, wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care proxies, and we do the harder elder-law planning too: Medicaid (MassHealth) planning to help protect the family home and savings when long-term care is on the horizon.
When a loved one passes, probate for North Andover residents runs through the Lawrence session of the Essex Probate and Family Court, and we handle the filings and the process for the family. We also help with guardianship and conservatorship when an older adult can no longer manage their own affairs.
One conversation gives you a clear picture of where you stand. No pressure, no obligation. Initial consultation: $250.
