Rhode Island Elder Law Attorney - Martha's Vineyard

ELDER LAW, PROBATE & ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES

Located just seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard has been described as a world of its own.  Six towns are located here including Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven, Edgartown, Aquinnah, Chilmark, and West Tisbury, each with its own character and charm.  Although known for its beautiful beaches, it is also renowned for its spectacular architecture, the arts community, and restaurants.  The island also boasts a rich history of whaling and a native Wampanoag Indian culture which can be seen throughout the area.  Food choices range from fine dining to family-style establishments and small ice cream shops are located throughout the island. 

 

Nantucket is another beautiful island located off the Massachusetts coast.   As a National Historic District, the island’s downtown architecture has changed little since the 17th century and never fails to captivate visitors with its cobblestone streets, stately facades and quaint wharf cottages intertwined with fragrant roses and dense clusters of colorful hydrangeas. Inside many of those buildings, visitors will find gourmet restaurants, the finest traditional and contemporary art, quirky collectibles and many unique items that make Nantucket shopping such an adventure.

 

With the average age of Martha's Vineyard residents approaching fifty and those on the island of Nantucket approaching forty, estate planning is something that needs to be considered.  Let Connelly Law assist you with this.

Attorney Connelly is a certified elder law attorney, making him one of an elite group in the United States.

Your Overall Financial Plan

Estate planning is for everyone, regardless of age or wealth. You should not wait until retirement age to set a plan in place, and this is especially the case if you're married, a parent, or if you own real estate property, or if you have any measurable assets, which you probably do. An estate comprises everything that you own from your home, to your automobiles, to land, personal possessions, life insurance, and cash in bank accounts, investments and so much more.

Without an estate plan, you have no way of controlling how your assets are distributed, nor can you fully control what should happen to you or your finances if you become incapacitated. Our estate planning attorney can help you plan for incapacitation or death by utilizing various tools such as advance directives for health care, living wills, creating a will, trusts, a power of attorney and more and we can also help you name a guardian for minor children.

In addition to estate planning, we handle all matters pertaining to elder law issues. Such areas covered under elder law include Medicaid planning, conservatorship, fiduciary services, estate planning, long-term care planning, long-term insurance and more. You can be rest assured that attorney Connelly will provide you and your family with maximum protection.

Wealth Management and Asset Protection

Our firm offers a variety of important services that help our clients manage their wealth and maximize their estate, all the while minimizing taxes as much as possible. Whether you're young or old, it's never too soon to begin creating an estate plan. Estate plans are very important to your overall financial plan, regardless if your estate is large or small and this is especially the case if you're married, have children or grandchildren or own any real estate. We can help you with wills, trusts, advance directives for health care, powers of attorney and all other estate planning documents.

Attorney R.J. Connelly works closely with several state organizations that focus on protecting the rights of the elderly. If you or your loved one are in need of fiduciary services or need assistance with Medicaid planning or conservatorship, we have the knowledge and the tools to help you execute a plan that will protect your future and your estate. As one of only five certified elder law attorneys in the state, attorney Connelly has the most sophisticated education and training in this special area of law.

Assisting Executors and Administrators

Have you been appointed an executor or an administrator of an estate? At Connelly Law Offices, our probate lawyer can provide you with the advice and guidance you need to administrate the estate seamlessly.  We understand how estate administration is a large responsibility and it's one that must be executed with your state's laws and procedures in mind. With our help and guidance, we can help you every step of the way and take the mystery and confusion out of the process. In the case of a will contest, we provide representation in estate litigation as well.

If you need superior legal representation in elder law, estate planning, or probate matter anywhere in Massachusetts, don't hesitate to contact an estate planning attorney from Connelly Law Offices, Ltd. to arrange a complimentary consultation.
