What Happens to Your Family When You Haven't Planned — And What Changes When You Have
What Happens to Your Family When You Haven't Planned — And What Changes When You Have
Most people put off estate planning for the same reason they put off other uncomfortable conversations — it forces you to think about scenarios you would rather not consider. But the families who arrive at Lamb & Lamb after a loved one has died without a will, without a health care proxy, without a power of attorney in place, all describe the same experience: confusion, conflict, delay, and costs that could have been avoided entirely with a few hours of preparation.
Estate planning is not reserved for the wealthy. It is for anyone who has children they want protected, assets they want distributed according to their own wishes, and people they trust to make decisions on their behalf if they cannot make them for themselves. A will determines who receives what you own and who raises your children if they are minors. A trust can allow your estate to transfer to your beneficiaries without going through the Massachusetts probate process — saving time, preserving privacy, and reducing costs for the people you leave behind. A power of attorney designates someone to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. A health care proxy ensures that the medical decisions made on your behalf reflect your actual wishes, not the assumptions of a hospital or a court.
Monique Boucher Lamb brings the same honesty and thoroughness to estate planning that she brings to every matter this firm handles. A client who worked with her on estate documents described the experience directly: "She was very helpful with any questions I had, and was extremely thorough." That is the standard. Every document drafted at Lamb & Lamb is reviewed carefully, explained clearly, and built to hold up — not just to check a box.
For families navigating an estate after a loss, Lamb & Lamb also handles post-death estate administration — guiding families through the process of managing and distributing an estate during an already difficult time, with the same plain-language approach and 25+ years of North Shore legal experience behind every step.
Free consultations are available by phone or online. Every inquiry is returned within 24 hours — guaranteed.
