Wills

Standard Will
 
At Furnish and Reed, we can help make sure your wishes are respected after your death.  Wills are an essential part of the estate planning process, and dying without a written will leaves your family in an awful predicament after you die.  We can help you appoint an excecutor of your estate and assist you in deciding how to fairly divide your assets among the people most important to you in your life.  For some families this is especially important.  If you are not married to your partner, if you have stepchildren, if you have been married more than once, or have any other situation where there are a number of important relationships that would be affected by your death, it is imperative that you have a will, both for clarity and for peace of mind.   
 
Living Wills
 
Massachusetts is one of the only states in the country that will recognize a health care proxy but not a living will. However, living wills can still be useful to help your designated agent make the decisions that you would want to be made regarding things like blood transfusions, surgery, and life support.  So while a living will is not technically a legally-binding document in MA, it can help ensure that you only receive the treatment you want to receive when your health is at stake.
