Probate and estate lawyers in Boston
Every firm below has an office serving Boston and at least one attorney credentialed by ACTEC, NELF or a certifying board (this state’s bar publishes no number to check against). Nearest first.
We do not endorse or recommend any attorney
The order is nearest first, and you can re-sort by firm size. A firm can pay for a labelled listing next to this list, never for a place in it, and we never pass your details to one.
Before you call
- Ask the size of the estate first
- Below the state's small-estate limit there may be no probate at all. The Massachusetts rule →
- Ask how the fee is set
- Flat, hourly, or a percentage of the estate, and whether the statute caps it. A quote is not a bill until it is in writing.
- Check the name yourself
- Each firm's page links to the credential its attorney holds, so you can look it up too.
