MassWoods Estate Planning

Summary: Deciding what will happen to your land after you are gone is a critical step of being a good land steward. This program can help you plan for how your land will be preserved and managed in the future.
Services: Estate planning is not just for the wealthy or for those who own “estates” — if you own land, then estate planning is a necessary and valuable step to ensure that the legacy of your land is a positive one. An estate plan ensures that all of your assets, including your land, are distributed in a way that meets your needs. Your estate is not one, all-encompassing document; it’s best thought of as a process that includes both documents (such as a will) and tools (such as conservation restrictions) that achieve your goals when implemented together. Investigate how to get in touch with an estate professional, understand current use and land conservation options, and learn how to communicate with loved ones about your plans.
