Massachusetts Estate & Gift Tax Attorneys

Proper estate planning is more than ensuring your assets are passed to the intended beneficiaries. Reducing or eliminating state and federal estate taxes is a priority for all clients. At Samuel, Sayward & Baler, LLC, in Dedham, Massachusetts, we have a distinguished reputation for thorough, effective estate planning geared toward the minimization of estate and gift taxes.

Is Your Estate Subject to Estate Taxes?

Many people are not aware that their estates may be subject to estate tax when they die, or that the value of life insurance proceeds, retirement assets and their personal possessions are included when determining the value of an estate for estate tax purposes. While the current federal law exempts estates of any value from the federal estate tax, estates of Massachusetts residents in excess of $1 million are subject to Massachusetts estate tax.

The estate planning lawyers at Samuel, Sayward & Baler, LLC can help you determine whether your estate is vulnerable to estate taxes and provide you with planning options to reduce or eliminate the estate taxes that will be due at death.
