Estate Planning

If you have worked hard, planned wisely and accumulated assets, it’s common sense to protect those assets and pass them to your loved ones in the manner you choose by structuring a comprehensive estate plan. There simply is no better way to show how much you love those people who will remember you so fondly.

Establishing a trusted attorney-client relationship is critical in estate planning, perhaps more so than with any other practice area. At the Law Offices of Nelson Chang, I invest a great deal of time early in the process to learn about each client’s unique situation in order to develop objectives that suit his or her needs.

Life changes more rapidly than ever. If you have not reviewed an existing estate plan within the past five years, it is important to do so with a knowledgeable attorney to ensure that it still accomplishes your objectives.

Knowledgeable Advice In All Aspects Of Estate Planning

Experience is a valuable characteristic of an estate planning lawyer. I have helped residents in and around Saugus gain the peace of mind that comes with putting an estate plan in place since 1975. I help my clients with the full scope of estate planning, including:

  • Wills and trusts — The foundation of any estate plan, wills spell out your wishes on the distribution of assets and trusts can help you avoid probate and accomplish unique needs.
  • Durable powers of attorney and health care proxies — These estate planning tools are the essence of being prepared should you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself. They spell out your wishes regarding health care and life-saving measures and designate individuals to make decisions for you regarding health care and financial matters.
