Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

If you are married additional considerations are required since a spouse absent an agreement otherwise has a right to at least half the estate.

Assuming you are divorced, then you need a Will and maybe a trust, depending upon the age of your children and the size of your estate.

If your children are adults and there is no spouse a Simple Will will direct all your assets to your children but may not be the best plan depending on other factors.

The steps that you will need to take depend on your situation. It could be as easy as making a will, or become more complicated depending on the needs of your sons. You should consider consulting an attorney to see what you need. My consultations are always free, and you may decide after if you wish to hire me.

The steps you should take will depend entirely upon your wishes, your marital situation, the extent and type of property owned by you, and your wishes for hte management and distribution of your assets and property following your death.

No attorney can recommend a plan of action without knowing more about your situation, family, assets, and wishes. Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to speak with an experienced estate planning attorney.
