Welcome
Ann I. Weber ("Ami") has a comprehensive estate planning and elder law
practice tailored to individuals, professionals, and owners of
closely-held businesses. She lectures frequently before professional
and community groups and has written extensively on these subjects.
Estate Planning
Ami works with individuals and families to plan for the desired transfer
of property at death and the preferred management of property in the
event of disability. Documents prepared may include wills, trusts,
durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, living wills, gift tax
returns, and a variety of other estate planning documents structured to
minimize income, estate, and gift taxes. She also works closely with
business clients to facilitate the smooth transfer of a family
enterprise to the next generation.

As a former employee of the Internal Revenue Service and a current
member of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, Ami has

including representation in the probate court, preparation of estate tax
returns and practice before the IRS and the Massachusetts Department of
Revenue.
Elder and Disability Law
Ami has an in-depth practice devoted to the representation of elders and
other individuals with disabilities with an emphasis on preserving
family wealth for family members. She handles MassHealth applications,
hearings and appeals and guardianship procedings.
