Counsel that endures
across generations.

Halberstam & Crowe is a boutique estate planning firm advising principals, families, and closely-held businesses across New England.

The Firm

A practice measured in decades, not deals.

Our partners have advised many of the same families for thirty years. We were retained for the founding generation; we are still retained by their grandchildren.

I.

Estate Planning

Wills, revocable trusts, and the documents that put your intentions into law — drafted to last, reviewed every five years.

II.

Trust Administration

Counsel to trustees, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries through the day-to-day work of a trust — and its eventual settlement.

III.

Business Succession

For founders and second-generation owners: the legal architecture that keeps a closely-held company in the family.

Our Approach

Plans drafted to be read in forty years.

An estate plan is a letter to a future family — most often one written by people who will not be in the room when it is opened.

Our work is to make that letter say exactly what you intend, even after circumstances, statutes, and the family itself have changed.

A Client

We have been advised by Halberstam & Crowe for three generations of our family. They are the first call when something changes, and the last call we make before signing anything.
