Estate Planning
We help clients in Peterborough and the Monadnock Region put wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives in place with an eye toward both lifetime planning and what comes later.
Areas of Practice
We are a general practice law firm with a primary focus on estate planning and probate and trust administration. We also assist clients with elder law, guardianships, civil litigation, real estate transactions, landlord tenant matters, and business, nonprofit, and LLC formation and representation.
The practice areas below offer a useful starting point, but many matters overlap. A real estate question may connect to an estate plan, a business matter may involve succession planning, and a dispute may touch probate, trust, or property issues. If you are not sure where your situation fits, please contact the office and we can help point you in the right direction.
