Massachusetts probate attorney David G. Carlson knows how difficult it can be dealing with probate concerns while still experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one. Our law firm makes the process easier by providing assistance with various probate needs including:

  • Executor and Administrator Duties – the process begins with filing with court and involves taking property inventory, determining heirs and beneficiaries, paying expenses of estate administration, distributing estate property, and satisfying debts of the estates
  • Challenging Wills – we have years of experience challenging the validity of wills based on undue influence and coercion, contesting the mental capacity of the testator, disputing whether proper formalities were followed in executing the will, arguing the will was based on fraud or mistake and demonstrating subsequent revocation of the will
  • Avoid Probate – this is often the most cost-effective solution to dealing with the property of the decedent and involves estate planning, wills and trusts, and asset protection methods that allows title to pass to beneficiaries by operation of law when the time comes
