Surprenant & Beneski P.C. - Easton, MA

We, Surprenant & Beneski P.C., in Easton, Massachusetts, help clients navigate the many decisions that accompany estate planning and elder law. Our services include drafting wills, trust formation, estate and trust administration, asset protection, tax planning strategies, business succession planning, special needs planning and charitable giving structures.

We guide clients through the practical steps of implementation and are present through administration and probate when needed. When issues arise, we prioritize clear explanations and practical advice so clients understand what is required and what outcomes to expect.

Our approach is collaborative and client‑centered: we listen carefully to learn each person’s priorities, family dynamics and financial circumstances, then tailor legal plans that reflect those realities. No two plans are the same, and we resist one‑size‑fits‑all thinking in favor of solutions that fit each client’s life and goals.

From our offices in Southeastern Massachusetts, we provide counsel to a wide range of clients – heads of large families, business owners, single or divorced individuals, and those transitioning into or enjoying retirement. Our team includes attorneys and staff who work together to ensure continuity of service and responsiveness. We place a strong emphasis on confidentiality and respect for private matters, recognizing how sensitive many planning conversations can be.

Daniel M. Surprenant and Michelle D. Beneski bring advanced credentialing as elder law attorneys certified by the National Elder Law Foundation, a distinction held by only a small number of Massachusetts practitioners. Their leadership helps shape our firm’s approach to elder care planning and long‑term care coordination.

We believe that planning brings peace of mind. Our mission is to deliver thoughtful legal work and outstanding client service – answering questions, clarifying options and helping clients make choices that protect their families and legacies. We encourage involvement at whatever level a client prefers and provide the guidance needed to move forward with confidence.

If you are considering your estate plan or facing a change in family or business circumstances, reach out. We will work with you to create a practical, reassuring plan for the future.
