Pesce & Associates, P.C. • Malden, MA

Preserve your wealth. We offer a full range of trust and estate services to enable you to pass assets to family members and other beneficiaries in the easiest and most tax-effective manner.

Our attorneys provide thoughtful and comprehensive advice for all clients from different backgrounds and with different needs. Estate planning allows you to manage your estate and provides instructions regarding how you wish your assets to be handled and disbursed after your death. Moreover, it states your wishes in the event you become incapacitated and can no longer communicate or make decisions on your own. The legal ramifications of not planning in advance can be significant and costly. Most of us work a lifetime to provide for our families, yet many of us never stop to consider how our families will cope financially or emotionally when we die or if a serious illness were to leave us unable to handle our financial and medical affairs. Everyone should have an estate plan or at least a simple one.

For a simple estate planning the following legal documents are a minimum:

LAST WILL & TESTAMENT

DURABLE GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

LIVING WILL

MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH CARE PROXY

HOMESTEAD

We are here to help, whether you're wanting to probate and administer an estate, challenge a will or take legal proceeding to guard your interests or the interests of the estate. Larger Estates may require revocable or irrevocable trust planning along with tax planning. A basic living trust allows property to avoid probate and to quickly and efficiently pass to the beneficiaries you name, without the hassles and expense of probate court proceedings. We offers a full range of trust and estate services to our clients to preserve their wealth and to enable them to pass assets to their families and other beneficiaries in the most appropriate and tax-effective manner. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any of your legal needs!
