Estate Planning in Wilmington, MA

At Monteforte Law, P.C., serving Wilmington isn’t just a line on a map — it’s personal. Attorney Michael Monteforte, Jr. has lived in Wilmington for more than two decades. He understands the community, the families, and what’s at stake when an estate plan is built right — or when it isn’t.

We work with Wilmington families at every stage of life: young parents who need to get a will in place, established families looking to preserve and protect what they’ve built, and seniors navigating the complexities of long-term care and MassHealth. Whatever your situation, we don’t hand you a stack of documents and send you home. We build a real plan — and we stay with you as life changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

He does — and has for over 20 years. Serving Wilmington families isn’t just business for us. Attorney Monteforte lives in this community and has a personal stake in seeing Wilmington families protected. Our office is in nearby Woburn, and we also offer Zoom consultations if you’d prefer to meet remotely.
Quite possibly — especially if it was created more than a few years ago. Laws change, family situations change, and assets grow. A plan that looked complete five years ago may have gaps today. A quick call lets us tell you exactly where you stand — at no cost and no obligation.
A will directs where your assets go after you die, but it must pass through the Massachusetts probate process first — which takes time, costs money, and is public record. A trust, by contrast, can transfer assets directly to your beneficiaries without probate, and can also help manage assets during your lifetime. Many Wilmington families benefit from having both. We’ll help you understand which tools make sense for your specific situation.
No. While our office is in Woburn — just a short drive from Wilmington — we offer Zoom consultations for clients who prefer to meet remotely. Many Wilmington clients start with a phone call and take it from there based on their comfort level.
We use flat-fee pricing, which means you’ll know exactly what your plan costs before you commit to anything. Every family’s situation is different, so we don’t publish one-size-fits-all rates — but there are no hourly surprises and no open-ended billing at Monteforte Law. We’ll give you clear pricing after understanding your needs.
The consult call is a short, no-pressure conversation with Nicole, our Lead Intake Coordinator. She’ll ask a few questions about your family, assets, and goals — so that when you meet with an attorney, your time together is focused and productive from the very first minute. It takes about 15 minutes and there’s no obligation.
