Dedham, Massachusetts, Estate Planning Law Firm

At the law offices of Samuel, Sayward & Baler LLC, we serve clients in the Boston-Dedham area in the following legal areas:

Estate planning: Diligent follow-through is one of the stand-out features of the estate planning services of Samuel, Sayward & Baler LLC. We assist with all aspects of the creation and implementation of estate plans, including creating documents and helping clients fund trusts and change life insurance ownership and beneficiary designations as necessary. We also help clients coordinate estate and financial planning.

Wills: A well-drafted will enables beneficiaries to smoothly deal with assets that are owned by the deceased alone at the time of death. A will is also the document used by parents to designate a guardian for their minor children.

Powers of attorney and health care proxies: Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies allow individuals to appoint others to handle financial and health care decision-making in the event of incapacity.

Trusts: Our experienced estate planning attorneys guide clients through the complexities of the various types of trusts to determine which, if any, are appropriate to meet your needs.

Elder law: Preserving family assets, assisting families through the Medicaid application process, guardianships, and long-term care planning are examples of areas that fall within our elder law practice.

Estate taxes and gift taxes: Careful planning may significantly reduce taxes on your estate and ensure that your assets are protected for your heirs.

Probate matters: When probate is not avoidable, the experienced attorneys at Samuel, Sayward & Baler LLC guide families and fiduciaries through the probate process in a detailed, personalized fashion.

Business succession: Within the practice of estate planning, we cover such topics as tax implications of various transactions, selection of business successors, structure of the eventual business transfer, and employee or family member buyout plans.

Family limited partnerships and LLCs: Family limited partnerships and LLCs allow clients to remain in control of businesses and complex asset portfolios while beginning an orderly transfer of ownership to family members.
