Whether personal or corporate, we need legal services at some time or the other.
If it is personal or a family situation, there are a score of things where legal services would be required .
One, in the area of elder law. It would involve estate, asset protection and long term care planning.
Two, the area of trust, will and administration of estate in general. The lawyer has to work with a whole host of people such as the families of the member for whom the trust or the will is being drawn for, the trustees, the executors and the other fiduciaries. Typically there would be a range of tax and trust services which would be needed to be executed when a family member dies. The entire estate administration is a complex thing which only the lawyer who understands finance and accounting and who is well versed can handle well.
Three, in the area of guardianship where arrangements needs to be made if there is an old or ailing parent or a mentally challenged child.
Four, in the area of pre nupital arrangements especially in case of expected inheritance post marriage.
Also , in the case of business planning, the business needs to take into account the impact of tax laws in their business strategies.
Now, all this can be done by someone who understands not only all the aspects of law concerning all this but as said before who understands finance and accounts also very well and who can work with such teams.
We have such a lawyer in the Massachusetts Attorney Michael T. Baker. He covers the areas of estate planning and administration, elder law, business incorporation and succession. He has very unique background in financial planning. This understadning of financial planning and the understanding of accounts, helps him to work with accountants and finaicial professionals of client’s team and deliver solutions to client as a team.
