Karol A. Bisbee
About Karol
Biography
I am the founder of the Law Office of Karol Bisbee, PC with locations in North Andover and Stoneham Massachusetts. My passion is working with seniors and their families to plan for the future, to address a crises and to bring a sense of relief that they have put their affairs in order- protecting themselves and their families. Medicaid Planning is complex and families have appreciated the hands on assistance we provide.
My clients often share what is happening in my life when it comes to travel which I thoroughly enjoy and they give me ideas on where to eat, what to see and their experiences. We form not only a legal relationship but a friendship. We also share ideas on my other passions of gardening and cooking
I am a Registered Nurse and a former nursing home administrator. Using the skills from these careers for the benefit of my clients has been very rewarding and beneficial for me and the families I work with.
Hugs, laughs and smiles are as much a part of my professional workday as the dispensing of legal information. Education of my clients and the community is a high priority in my practice. In addition, I beleive in giving back to the community and therefore I offer a free legal clinic at two of my local Senior Centers once a month.

Elder and Estate planning
My mom and I have been pleased with Karol's help getting her estate in order after my dad's death. She helped us with a will, health proxy, durable power of attorney, and a trust. We both feel very comfortable working with Karol. She is clear and knowledgeable.
