When a loved one passes away, the difficult task of administering his or her estate must be undertaken. This can be a complicated process even if a will is in place. Things become significantly more complex when a loved one dies without a will and the estate must go through probate. It is important to have a skilled lawyer on your side to help guide you through this process. I am attorney Nelson Chang, and I can handle your estate administration matters, as well as help you with your family's estate planning needs.
Resolving Disputes And Protecting Your Loved Ones
Probate is the process by which a will is validated and assets are distributed to the beneficiaries named in the will. If a person dies without a will, assets will be distributed according to the law of Massachusetts. While this sounds simple enough, numerous complications can arise. Sometimes, a family member will wish to challenge the validity of a will. In other cases, there may be accusations that an executor is not acting according to a loved one's wishes. Whatever the case, I can help ensure that an estate administration is carried out smoothly, while working hard to efficiently resolve any disputes that may arise.
In addition to estate administration, I also help people plan for the future through estate planning. The use of wills, trusts and other estate planning tools can help ensure a smooth transition and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing your wishes will be honored.
