Effective March 31, 2012, the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (”MUPC”) goes into effect. This will dramatically change how estates are administered in Massachusetts. One of the most important changes is your ability to streamline the probate process thereby making it a much quicker, easier and cheaper process for your family. However, in order to take advantage of these tools that will make is quicker, easier and cheaper for your family you need to have a Will. In addition to streamlining the process the MUPC also changes the rules of how an estate is distributed in the event you do not have a Will which is yet another reason that it is more important than ever to have a Will if you want to make sure your Estate is distributed in accordance with your wishes. Call Attorney Scott J. Clifford at 781-829-9100 to schedule a consult to discuss your estate planning needs.

Bruce Lipsey has practiced in the area of social security disability for 19 year. Naturally, over that time period, one would expect caseload growth for the firm as clients tell other clients about the practice and referrals are made. Over this time period, we have also enjoyed professionals in the area, other lawyers, counselors, physicians and psychiatrists entrust their patients and clients to us for representation. We are very proud of the services we offer to not only the local community but throughout the state of Massachusetts. The disability practice of Epstein, Lipsey & Clifford has grown to be one of the largest in the state in terms of volume of cases and successful resolutions. We have doubled our staff and office space to accommodate the growth! We intend to improve our service delivery in 2012 for our clients so that the waiting time is diminished for benefits to be secured.
