The probate lawyer has to know how to handle various bureaucracies; whether it's the Economic Recovery Unit of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the clerk's office of the county involved, or the Bureau of Vital Statistics, etc.
There is a labyrinth, a maze, that must be gotten through in the probate, in estate, (e.g. getting EIN #'s for probate estate, accounts, etc.).
The tasks required can be diagrammed almost into a board game. The office is there to help you get your pieces around the board.
Our hope is thoroughness with dispatch; meaning we don't, in the desire to get things done as fast as possible, forget to dot I's and cross T's. But the faster we can get you on, around, and off the ferris wheel, so to speak, the greater the peace of mind, appreciation of our services, and the eagerness to post positive reviews.
Contemplating your future passing is tough enough; the office wants to make the experience as grief-free as possible.
