A Firm at the Forefront of Developments in Estate Planning, Elder and Probate Law

Firm founder Anthony R. Mignanelli successfully litigated the landmark special needs planning case of Chenot v. Bordeleau. In that case, the Rhode Island Supreme Court decided that the benefits received by mentally disabled individuals from discretionary trusts could not be counted as part of their resources in determining eligibility for government benefits. This case had enormous impact, establishing legal principles that were reflected in amendments to Social Security laws in 1992 and 1993, as well as in changes to Rhode Island statutes.

Attorney Mignanelli has also prevailed in a number of other precedent-setting cases involving novel and unresolved areas of estate planning law, including spousal life estates and defective charitable remainder trusts.

Associate attorney J. Katherine Scott is a member of the Rhode Island Estate Planning Council and is a frequent lecturer on various estate planning and estate settlement topics.

Our attorneys draw upon over 50 years of combined experience in representing our clients. In addition, our firm offers the support of a highly experienced and knowledgeable legal staff. Clients can take confidence knowing that no matter what their estate planning, elder law or probate needs, their matter will be handled professionally, efficiently and effectively.
