Living Wills
Our Newburyport living wills lawyers assist clients with their living will. A living will expresses a severely incapacitated person's desire not to be kept alive by artificial or extraordinary means should the expectation of recovery become unreasonable.
Healthcare Directives
A healthcare directive, also called a power of attorney for healthcare or a healthcare proxy, is a written directive used to convey your wishes in the event you become incapacitated. A healthcare directive can express your desires as well as name someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
Probate
Our Newburyport probate lawyers can assist you with probating and administering an estate. We are familiar with Massachusetts probate laws and New Hampshire probate laws. In some cases, it is better to have a third party probate and administer the estate to avoid family bickering, and circumvent the appearance of favoritism.
Powers of Attorney
We can provide you with powers of attorney, including durable powers of attorney.
Elder Law
Our Newburyport elder law lawyers can assist you with all elder law issues, including assistance with Medicare planning and Medicaid planning.
Guardianships and Conservatorships
Our Newburyport guardianship and conservatorship lawyers can assist you with appointing a guardian or conservator to watch over your children or estate.
