About Perennial Estate Planning 🌲
Perennial Estate Planning is a specialized law firm dedicated exclusively to helping families in New Hampshire and Massachusetts protect their legacies. With an office conveniently located on Middle Street in Manchester, the firm is led by Attorney Joseph M. Lento. Unlike general practice firms that dabble in various areas of law, Perennial Estate Planning focuses 100% of its energy on creating comprehensive estate plans. This singular focus allows them to streamline the process, making it simple, convenient, and understandable for clients who might otherwise feel overwhelmed by legal jargon.
Attorney Lento founded the firm with a clear mission: to provide peace of mind through accessible legal counsel. He understands that many people put off estate planning because they fear it will be complicated or expensive. To combat this, the firm has adopted a modern, client-centric approach that includes fixed pricing (no surprise bills), a 24-hour response rule for inquiries, and a commitment to delivering draft documents within five business days of the initial meeting. Whether you are a young family just starting out or looking to secure your assets for retirement, Perennial Estate Planning offers a safe harbor to discuss your future without judgment.
Services & Practice Areas
The firm provides a full suite of estate planning documents designed to work together to avoid probate and minimize taxes:
- Revocable Living Trusts: The cornerstone of many modern estate plans, allowing assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without the delays and costs of probate court 🏛️.
- Wills (Pour-Over Wills): Essential safety nets that ensure any assets left out of a trust are poured over into it upon death, as well as designating guardians for minor children.
- Durable Power of Attorney: designating a trusted person to handle financial affairs if you become incapacitated.
- Health Care Proxy / Advance Directives: outlining your medical wishes and appointing someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so 🏥.
- Asset Protection: Strategies to shield inheritances from creditors, lawsuits, and potential future divorces of beneficiaries.
The Perennial Advantage
What sets Perennial Estate Planning apart is its transparency and efficiency. They offer a free personal consultation to educate clients on their options before any commitment is made. The firm’s Perennial Guarantee promises fixed-fee pricing, so clients know exactly what their estate plan will cost upfront—no hourly billing anxiety. By combining legal expertise with a compassionate, educational approach, Attorney Lento helps clients navigate life’s what-ifs with confidence, ensuring that the right things go to the right people at the right time ⏳.
