Massachusetts Living Trust Attorney

If you think you might need a Massachusetts living trust attorney, here are a few things to consider.


First, revocable living trusts are very individualized documents. They need to be drafted to meet your individual circumstances. That's why general "boilerplate" living trusts that you can download on the web probably won't work as well for you as one drafted to fit your needs by an estate planning lawyer. At a minimum you should at least talk to an attorney with experience drafting living trusts to let him review whatever document you might draft on your own.


Second, be sure your living trust is properly executed. Massachusetts law requires a specific attestation clause to be contained in the living trust. Also, it must be witnessed and notarized. You must sign the trust in the presence of the witnesses. There are also rules that specify who is permitted to be a witness.


 

Finally, make sure your living trust is properly funded. Too many people think all they need is the trust document to accomplish their desires. But, actually, the document is worthless unless the trust is funded. You can read more about funding a living trust at Funding a Living Trust.


If you've spent some time on this site you know that living trusts are not right for everyone. There are positives and negatives to consider.


You can't set any hard or fast rule as to who should have a living trust. There are just too many factors to consider. But, certainly if you have assets worth $1,000,000 or more -- you should seriously consider at least talking to a living trust attorney about getting a living trust.


The best way to find a good Massachusets living trust attorney is to ask people you know if they know one. You could also call your local bar association and ask for a referral. Another good way is through Legal Match. Whether you live in Boston, New Bedford or Framingham -- you can find a local living trust attorney through using the service at the link below.
