Margolis Bloom & D’Agostino, an estate and elder law planning firm with its principal office in Wellesley, is offering a $2,500 scholarship to encourage law students from backgrounds under-represented in the field to consider estate planning. It is open to current first- and second-year students attending a law school in Massachusetts. Interest in the field of estate planning may be demonstrated by having taken courses in estate planning, trusts and estates, estate taxation, elder law or special needs planning, or having worked at a law firm that concentrates in these fields.
Estate planning involves planning for both life and death, including taking steps to make sure that one’s assets pass at death to their family members with the least difficulty, conflict, and taxes as possible. It also involves planning to carry out one’s wishes and maintain autonomy and dignity in the event of incapacity, whether that be due to injury, illness, or cognitive decline. This can also include making sure to qualify for available public benefits to pay for health care, long-term care and housing.
