Probate Court Administration

Following the death of a loved one, grieving families often suffer added stress trying to navigate the complex legal, financial, and administrative aspects of probate administration.  If you are responsible for probate or you are an intended beneficiary, you want a responsive attorney with the expertise to guide you through this process as quickly and cost efficiently as possible.  At Moschella & Winston, our lawyers have over 30 years of experience successfully managing the administration process and limiting tax and legal ramifications of probate.

Depending on the circumstances, the court-supervised process of probate can be lengthy and costly for heirs.  Our attorneys and staff work diligently to expedite disbursement of property and funds to intended beneficiaries, and we protect and guide you every step of the way.  With decades of experience in this area of law, we are experts in the differences inherent in each Probate Court’s system, and we are able to leverage this specialized knowledge to advise you on the best plan for your unique situation, saving you time and money.      

At Moschella & Winston, we also help families facing difficult decisions for incapacitated elderly or disabled loved ones that require probate court oversight.  Sometimes an appointment of a conservator or guardian is necessary to protect an individual’s rights and property during their lifetime, and the court process can be difficult and confusing for families.  Our attorneys strive to protect the quality of life and dignity of the elderly and disabled, while steering the family and supporting institutions through the legal maze with speed and compassion. 

In many cases, our attorneys also professionally serve as trustee, executor, administrator, conservator, and guardian.  Because of our expertise and outstanding reputation, our attorneys often are appointed by the Massachusetts courts to serve as guardian ad litem and fiduciaries in sensitive or contested cases.  We counsel and perform distributions and accountings for trusts requiring ongoing court supervision, and we represent individuals who challenge the authority and actions of others administering estates. 

Whether advising or serving, Moschella & Winston delivers expert administration management and guidance for all individuals involved in probate matters.  Our attorneys are readily available to address all of your legal concerns with the utmost respect and care.  We will help you determine where to start, prepare documents, administer the estate and handle all tax issues, resolve government liens, and otherwise manage all of the legal and technical aspects of probate administration.  Let us help ease your burden and protect you and your family.  Contact us to schedule an initial consultation.
