Estate Planning

Estate Planning Built Around Your Family and Priorities

A sound estate plan should identify who will receive property, who can act when help is needed and how important decisions should be made. Attorney Mark C. Hamer assists clients in Rhode Island and Massachusetts with practical estate planning tailored to their family circumstances, assets and long-term goals.

Planning May Include

  • Wills and revocable trusts
  • Durable powers of attorney
  • Health care proxies and advance directives
  • HIPAA authorizations
  • Selection of executors, trustees and other decision-makers
  • Planning for minor children or beneficiaries requiring additional protection
  • Review and revision of existing estate-planning documents

Mark explains the purpose of each document in plain language and helps clients consider how the pieces of the plan work together. Existing plans should also be reviewed after significant changes involving family, property, residence or the people selected to serve in trusted roles.

Estate planning is most useful when the documents reflect current wishes and can be located and understood when they are needed.
