Law Office of Dennis E. McHugh

Guardianship
From estate planning and elder law, to real estate and guardianships, we have the expertise to help you protect your family's future.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Attorney Vergados joined McHugh Law as an associate in 2008. She focuses her practice on residential and commercial real estate, estate planning, business law, and probate administration.

Employment Contract
McHugh Law can help with all your contract drafting and negotiating needs including leases, employment agreements, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, and non-compete agreements. Protect what you put into your business with agreements that address your needs effectively.
Non-compete Agreement

Real Estate Transactions
Whether you are buying or selling real estate, McHugh Law will make sure your interests are protected. From reviewing the listing agreement, closing documents to clearing title issues, we will work to ensure your real estate transactions proceed smoothly and avoid unexpected, costly delays.

Personal Injury
Attorney McHugh has experience in all types of civil matters, including estate planning, elder law, business, personal injury, probate and real estate. He has been appointed a Commissioner by the Land Court and the Probate Court and as Guardian Ad Litem for the Probate Court to help manage difficult matters for the courts.
Medicaid Planning
The team at McHugh Law has a wide range of experience in developing estate plans that effectively preserve client assets for their families, while allowing for efficient administration. Even the simplest estate plan must address the issues of taxation, choice of personal representative and/or trustee, division of assets, healthcare proxy, etc. We will guide these important decisions in all areas, and help with guardianship, disability, long-term care, Medicaid planning, powers of attorney, and wills and trusts.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
As a citizen and community leader, McHugh has served in a variety of leadership positions. He held the elected position of Town Meeting Moderator from 1980 to 2011 and has served as Library Trustee. In addition, he has served on the Board of Directors or as President of numerous civic and business groups including the Chelmsford Scholarship Fund, Inc., Chelmsford Rotary Club, Chelmsford Cultural Council, Chelmsford High School Alumni Association, the Lowell Five Cent Savings Bank, the Merrimack Valley Estate Planning Council, and the Greater Lowell Home Builders’ Association. He was the Chelmsford Business Association Member of the Year and received the Community Service Award from The Chelmsford League of Women Voters of Chelmsford in 2011.
Wills
Trusts
Do you want to avoid the Probate Court? McHugh Law also helps with trusts for a wide range of special situations. For example, a testamentary trust is an inexpensive way to make sure the kids do not spend the money unwisely. A testamentary trust is also a good tool for asset preservation in case of nursing home care. Revocable trusts are used to help save estate taxes. In Massachusetts, if you have more than $1,000,000 in the family, you have a taxable estate. The federal limit is over $5,000,000, not the Massachusetts limit. A $1,100,000 estate can generate a tax of $41,000. We can set up the trusts needed to save that $41,000. Trusts also will save the cost to probate the estate [$4,000 – $8,000 for an estate of that size]. Life insurance trusts can be used to take life insurance completely out of the taxable estate. Supplemental needs trusts or special needs trusts can be used to make sure a disabled person can receive money and still qualify for necessary benefits. Irrevocable trusts can be used to protect your assets in case of nursing home care.
Power of Attorney
If a person unable to make decisions and live independently and there is no Durable Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy, a conservatorship or guardianship is required. A conservator manages the finances for the incompetent person. A guardian tends to the personal needs and care of the person. Both processes are managed by the Probate Court which is short-handed and working without the benefit of new technology. It is a difficult place.
