Local Attorney Honored for Revolutionary Approach to Estate Planning

Lynnfield, MA: Super Lawyers just rated attorney Vincent Bonazzoli as one of the top estate planning attorneys in Massachusetts for the second year in a row, underscoring his work revolutionizing the conversation around estate planning.

Over his 31 year career, Mr. Bonazzoli has taught clients and other estate planning attorneys about the importance of asset ownership. “Everything in estate planning boils down to asset ownership,” he says. That’s why he partners with clients to align assets with their estate plan, verify correct alignment and track the assets over time, championing his clients as he works with their financial institutions.

The approach gained him a serious following. “As of right now, we have over 460 families on our ongoing maintenance program and we’ve trained about 50 firms on our maintenance process,” he shares. “Instead of hiring an attorney to just draft documents, our clients hire us to create a plan for their family and to maintain it afterwards.” He encourages clients and estate planning attorneys to change the conversation from a transaction-based approach to a relationship-based approach.

Mr. Bonazzoli sees this latest honor as coming directly out of his work with clients and the partnering he and clients’ other trusted advisors do to ensure estate plans will work when they need to. He continues to focus his practice on developing real relationships with clients and being their best advocate with financial institutions.
