Estate Planning & Trust Planning Attorney
Clear, practical planning to protect what you’ve built and provide for the people who matter most to you.
Servicing New Hampshire, Maine & Massachusetts.
Protect Your Assets, Preserve Your Legacy & Provide Peace of Mind for the People Who Matter Most
Estate planning is about more than preparing legal documents—it’s about making thoughtful decisions that protect your family, your assets, and your wishes for the future. Whether you’re planning for retirement, providing for loved ones, protecting a family business, or ensuring someone you trust can make decisions if you’re unable to do so, a well-crafted estate plan provides clarity and confidence.
At LaPorte Law Group, we work with individuals, couples, families, retirees, and business owners throughout New Hampshire, while also serving clients across Massachusetts and Maine. As experienced estate planning attorneys, we help clients create customized estate plans that reflect their unique goals, minimize unnecessary legal complications, and protect what they’ve worked hard to build.
Whether you’re creating your first estate plan, establishing a trust, updating an existing will, or planning for future generations, we’re committed to providing legal guidance that protects your assets, reduces unnecessary complications and expenses, and supports the people you care about – during life and afterwards.
Comprehensive Estate Planning Services for Every Stage of Life
Estate planning isn’t only for retirees or high-net-worth individuals. Every adult can benefit from having a plan that outlines how assets should be managed, who should make important decisions during incapacity, and how loved ones should be cared for in the future.
Our goal is to make estate planning understandable and practical by helping you make informed decisions that protect your family today and for years to come.
Wills & Comprehensive Estate Planning
A properly prepared will forms the foundation of many estate plans. It allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed, name guardians for minor children, appoint an executor, and clearly communicate your wishes.
At LaPorte Law Group, we take the time to understand your family, financial situation, and long-term objectives before preparing an estate plan tailored to your needs. We help clients create wills that work together with other estate planning documents to provide comprehensive protection rather than relying on one document alone.
Trusts can provide flexibility, privacy, and long-term protection for your assets while helping your loved ones avoid unnecessary complications after your passing. Depending on your goals, a trust may also help simplify the transfer of assets and provide greater control over how your estate is managed.
As a leading trust planning attorney, we prepare both revocable and irrevocable trusts and help clients determine which approach best fits their circumstances. We also assist trustees with trust administration, providing practical guidance on fiduciary responsibilities, asset management, distributions, and compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Probate & Estate Administration
Losing a loved one can be overwhelming, and navigating the probate process often adds additional stress during an already difficult time.
We guide executors, administrators, trustees, and beneficiaries through probate and estate administration with clear advice and responsive communication. From filing required court documents to distributing assets and resolving legal issues, we help simplify the administration process while protecting our clients’ interests.
Guardianships & Conservatorships
When a loved one becomes unable to manage personal or financial affairs, legal protections may become necessary.
We assist families with guardianship and conservatorship matters involving minors and incapacitated adults. Our goal is to help families navigate these sensitive situations with compassion while ensuring legal requirements are handled efficiently and responsibly.
Planning for Business Owners & Multi-State Assets
Estate planning often becomes more complex when businesses, vacation properties, investment real estate, or assets located in multiple states are involved.
We work closely with business owners and families to develop coordinated estate plans that address ownership transitions, family-owned businesses, multi-state property, and long-term wealth preservation. By coordinating estate planning with broader financial and business objectives, we help clients protect both their personal and professional legacies.
Estate Plan Reviews & Updates
An estate plan should evolve as your life changes. Marriage, divorce, children, grandchildren, retirement, business growth, significant financial changes, or changes in state or federal law may all affect your existing plan.
We regularly review and update wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and related estate planning documents to ensure they continue to reflect your wishes and provide the protection your family deserves.
Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
Estate planning isn’t only about what happens after a personal loss; it’s also about protecting you during your lifetime. We prepare durable financial powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and other essential planning documents that allow trusted individuals to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so.
