It’s National Estate Planning Awareness Week

Dear Clients and Friends,

At Amaral & Associates P.C., we are here to help with all of your family law needs. This week we are sending a reminder of the importance of Estate Planning. In fact, this week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week. It is the perfect time to account for any oversights or changes in your family’s estate plan, such with a Will, Trust, Power of Attorney, Living Will or Health Care Proxy.

The past few years have brought many changes to families across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and at the Family Law and Estate Planning Center at Amaral & Associates, P.C., we know that these changes can have an impact on your life. These changes may involve the acquisition of a new home or investment parcel of real estate requiring a trust;  a divorce, requiring the need to change your existing estate plan; a new spouse; a new baby or existing children and the selection of a guardian for them if something happens, or a family member with special needs who needs a special needs trust. 

National Estate Planning Awareness Week is a great time to remind everyone of the importance of estate planning and it is an even better time to review your existing estate plan or create a new plan. Please contact us to schedule an Estate Plan review either by Zoom or in person. We can explain your options, the flat fees, and discuss the best course of action for you or your family so that you can rest easy and have one less thing to worry about. 

Contact Attorney Edward L. Amaral, Jr. today at (617)539-1010 ext. 111 or by email at edamaral@amarallaw.com or by visiting our website at www.amarallaw.com
