Estate Planning
We create customized estate plans that protect assets and ensure your wishes are followed. Our services include wills, trusts, and advance directives that address inheritance, guardianship, and healthcare decisions. With expertise in Rhode Island and Massachusetts law, we help clients structure plans that minimize family conflict and legal complications while maintaining privacy through probate avoidance strategies.
Asset Protection
Our asset protection plans shield clients' wealth from potential threats like lawsuits and creditors. We implement legal structures including trusts and business entities to separate personal and professional assets while maintaining compliance with state exemption laws. This service includes risk assessment and strategic conversion of non-exempt assets to protected forms under Rhode Island and Massachusetts regulations.
Probate Administration
We guide personal representatives through Rhode Island's probate process with clear steps for asset inventory, debt settlement, and distribution. Our support includes court filings, creditor notifications, and tax compliance to ensure efficient estate closure while protecting fiduciaries from personal liability during the administration process.
Medicaid Planning
Our Medicaid qualification strategies help families preserve assets while meeting eligibility requirements for nursing home care. We navigate complex state-specific resource limits and transfer rules to protect up to $128,640 in combined assets for married couples while ensuring compliance with federal and state healthcare regulations.
Guardianship Designation
We help parents create legally binding plans for minor children's care, including guardian selection and financial fiduciary arrangements. Our process ensures designated caregivers understand their responsibilities while creating contingency plans that address changing family circumstances and financial management for minors' inheritances.
