Probate Attorney Wilmington, MA

As experienced probate lawyers based in Massachusetts, Priority Law can help you navigate probate to make the process as organized and stress-free as possible.

What is probate and why do you want to avoid it?

Probate is a legal process to distribute assets or collect debts upon a person’s death. Without a will, the court will decide how to divide assets. With a trust, any assets will smoothly transition to the trustee without having to go through probate. Probate is often complicated, costly, and time consuming.
