Estate Planning 33%

No one likes to contemplate death or the possibility of years of illness or disability. The thoughtful creation of an estate plan, when you can effectively express your desires regarding the distribution of your assets, care of your minor children, and health care wishes, is the best way to control your future and protect your family.

33%
Probate 33%

Probate is the process of identifying and transferring assets owned by a person who has died (the "decedent") to the individuals or entities (the "devisees") legally entitled to receive the assets, pursuant to instructions in the decedent's Will, after any taxes and legally enforceable debts and expenses against the decedent's estate have been paid. If the decedent failed to leave behind a Will, those legally entitledto inherit the assets are determined by Mass. inheritance laws.

33%
Corporate and Incorporation 17%

Starting a business is an exciting undertaking but it is filled with many traps for the unwary. How your business is set up and structured from the beginning will dictate whether your personal assets are protected from any business liabilities and the tax implications of any business income and expenses. Given these consequences, making the correct decision from the beginning is critical.

Mediation 17%

When ending a marriage, we acknowledge the position you are in, the decisions that you face, and the changes that lie ahead. Dissolving a marriage via mediation can be an amicable and cost effective solution.

Professional, Skillful and Caring Personal Service. Highly Recommended

We found Jason Carrozza of Family Legal Partners, P.C. at a difficult time in our lives. We were from out of town and needed a lawyer who could help to settle the estate of our beloved aunt. With great patience and skill, Mr. Carrozza personally guided us through the process, pointing out flaws and p...otential pitfalls that we were able to avoid with his help. He navigated the intricacies of the probate process with the assurance of a seasoned professional, referring us to other specialists along the way to help with real estate liquidation. His concerned and caring guidance every step of the way made this difficult process nearly effortless for us. In the end the estate was settled smoothly and without incident, to everyone’s complete satisfaction. We are grateful to Jason Carrozza and would recommend him whole-heartedly to anyone needing family and estate planning. In fact, our next project will be to have him draw up our wills!

Will / Living Trust

I contacted Family Legal Partners to initiate a will. I had some thoughts and questions and after speaking with Jason I felt very comfortable about the process. Jason was extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Jason answered all my questions and provided guidance and advice where need...ed. I highly recommend Jason Carrozza and Family Legal Partners and in the future would not hesitate contacting Family Legal Partners for legal advice.

A compliment from your piers it the highest compliment of all

Jason did an estate plan and wills for me and my wife when we lived in Massachusetts. Then we decided to move to Indiana to be closer to our grandchildren. Jason suggested that I have an Indiana attorney check his work to ensure it was proper for Indiana. I followed his advice and my Indiana attor...ney paid him the highest complement. He said the Jason's work was excellent and there was little he could do to improve it. A compliment from your piers is the highest compliment of all.

Good Hands

I first met with Attorney Jason Carrozza regarding estate planning seven months after my husband’s sudden death. During those first seven months, I had engaged two other attorneys, both of whom proved to be incompetent and/or generally incapable of grasping what I needed to be done. I was frustrate...d and discouraged when my accountant suggested I make an appointment with Jason. I placed great faith in my accountant’s judgement and his judgement proved sound. I was immediately impressed by Jason’s quiet demeanor and his ability to listen. He was calm and focused. I felt safe with him. I could ask a stupid question, maybe the same question two or three times, without ever once sensing judgement or annoyance. He was responsive to all emails and phone calls. He was quick to initiate contact with me if he didn’t understand exactly what I meant or wanted. In short, I always felt I mattered. That was really important to me. Through his sheer mastery of the field, his utter competency, he gave me the ability to make informed decisions in structuring my will and trust. He didn’t tell me what to do but rather said - if you do this, this is the outcome; if you do that, that is the outcome. No agenda on his part, just the facts. With these facts, I was able to make an informed decision based on my life circumstances and my values. In short, what was right for me. I felt his fees were incredibly reasonable. Knowing that I had already spent quite a bit on other attorneys, knowing that all of that work had to be redone, he was even more than reasonable. With confidence, I have recommended him to friends who were in difficult life circumstances knowing that they would be in good hands. And isn’t that what everyone wants when sorting out life’s serious issues, when making decisions that will drastically effect the lives of those we love? We want to be in good hands. It’s that simple. With Attorney Jason Carrozza, I was in good hands. Jean Foxborough, MA

Divorce Lawyers

When the word divorce entered my life I felt very lost. I picked Jason Carrozza and Amy Antonellis from the internet and from the first phone call with Amy I knew things would be ok. They helped me step by step through the divorce process and made me feel secure and confident that I could do it. They... had my back all the way and I'm so very grateful. They also helped me with my Estate Planning and I will be calling them again to draw up my Will.

"I have known and worked with Attorney Carrozza for a number of years and during that time I have had the ability to refer a number of clients to him in his core areas of practice.

In several cases I have had the opportunity to speak with some of the clients after Attorney Carrozza had handled a matter for them and they spoke of him in only the highest terms.
