Bay State Elder Law PC
Generations Law Group is proud to provide online events to help educate members of our community on topics that affect our family, friends, and neighbors. Most of our webinars are open to the public. In fact, most individuals can benefit from having a Trust. In this informative book, you'll learn the Trust basics, how they differ from Wills, the drawbacks of not having a Trust, and what steps to take to explore if a Trust is right for you.

A Guardian or Conservator is needed when a loved one is not able to make sound decisions for himself on an ongoing basis. This is different from a Health Care Proxy who may make decisions in the short-term during a medical emergency. It's never easy to talk about uncomfortable topics. And few things are more difficult to talk about than death or dying, particularly with a loved one.

Cathleen Summers has been a lifesaver for our family for the past two years, tracking down a complex set of assets to complete a Medicaid application for my parents. She is not only knowledgeable and patient but a formidable advocate for clients in the face of balky or elusive institutions! We have been very glad to have her in our court.

We did our estate planning with the Generations Law Group. Everything was explained very clearly. We felt very comfortable asking questions. Cathleen Summers could not have been more helpful. Attorney Summers also helped us with the affairs of a family member. She handled everything professionally and with sensitivity. Tracy Porzio and Attorney Summers have gone above and beyond for us. We highly recommend this group.

My wife and I met with Attorney Cathleen Summers of Generations Law Group to discuss estate planning. We were very impressed with Cathleen’s knowledge and advice during our initial consultation. We decided to hire Cathleen Summers for our estate planning needs. All our questions were answered, and advice given where needed as our estate planning documents were drafted. Cathleen’s administrative assistant Tracy Porzio was a pleasure to work with. Tracy did a great job with scheduling and keeping us on track. My wife and I feel more relaxed now that we have signed all our estate planning documents

We had the pleasure of working with Attorney Cathleen Summers to develop and implement an estate plan that included our last will and testament and trust establishments. Cathleen was patient, detailed, and knowledgeable when reviewing our estate planning options. Her staff was friendly, efficient and timely with follow up calls and meeting reminders. I would recommend Generations Law Group for all estate planning requests.
