Will contests and trust litigation are always emotionally charged and complex involving family dynamics going back decades. With more than 30 years of experience in these unique matters, Maureen can assist you through this process. She also works with estate planners who do not do litigation to assist their clients when matters end up in litigation.

In addition to will contest and breach of fiduciary duty matters—including removal or defense of a fiduciary such as a personal representative or trustee—Maureen also represents individuals acting as attorney in fact or under a power of attorney and/or health care proxy. Maureen’s practice brings her to the Massachusetts Probate Court, Superior Court, and Massachusetts Appeal Court. At the request of the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court, she chaired a committee that resulted in the establishment of Fiduciary Litigation Session of that court.

Maureen is an active member of the Massachusetts Bar Association Probate Council, which she chaired and co-chaired for four years. She also chairs the Human Rights Committee for Goodwill, where she has been a volunteer for more than 20 years. When not at work, Maureen enjoys spending time with her children, granddaughter, and her friends including travel in the U.S. and Europe. In 2021, Maureen fulfilled a lifetime dream to visit Egypt and Jordan.
