The Value of Our Certified Elder Law Attorneys’ Services

This designation is incredibly valuable when it comes to providing legal services in the area of elder law. 

There are strict criteria to qualify as a Certified Elder Law Attorney:

  • Spending an average of 16 hours a week practicing elder law
  • Handling at least 60 elder law matters with the last 3 years
  • Being in good standing with the state bar association
  • Participating in continuing legal education in the area of elder law.

The Value of an Experienced Lawyer’s Services

Many Americans have turned to online legal services to create their estate planning documents. The lower cost of using a web-based service to create a will or trust is appealing. Unfortunately, we see many clients who have suffered negative outcomes after using an online estate planning website. Creating a fill-in-the-blank will or trust is like using a form letter. When people use these sites, lawyers do not review their documents or contribute to their documents at all. 

At Surprenant & Beneski, PC, we take the time to learn about the needs and goals of our clients. When you become our client, we will carefully examine all of the aspects of your situation to create an estate plan that is tailored to your needs and goals.

Our legal team can also help you through many of the challenging aspects of estate planning, such as choosing a guardian for your minor children or an executor. We will also ensure that all of your documents are properly signed, notarized, and witnessed. 

At the end of the process, you won’t have to worry whether or not your documents are legally valid in the state of Massachusetts. You will leave with confidence, knowing that your estate plan will protect you and your family now and in the future.
