2026 Elder Law Month - Update Presentations in Palmer and East Longmeadow
Everybody knows that Power of Attorney and Joint Bank Accounts are two ways to avoid probate. But there are traps that people can fall into when the documents aren’t done right!

Join Attorney John Roberts for a look at the latest Massachusetts Court cases that cover POA, Joint Bank Accounts, and real estate. You’ll see and hear how Judges respond in circumstances where family members fight over plans that were intended to avoid probate.

These presentations are part of the 2026 Elder Law Education Program, sponsored by the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.
