Emma J. Hilton

Emma J. Hilton is an estate planning attorney serving New Hampshire and Massachusetts families through her own law office. Her current practice focuses on wills, trusts, advance directives, powers of attorney, probate guidance, and trust funding. She works directly with clients from the first consultation through signing, helping families put decisions in writing and create plans that reflect their values, responsibilities, and practical needs.

Emma earned an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University, a J.D. from Boston College Law School, and a B.A. cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Her tax and legal education supports work that can involve estate planning, tax research, tax preparation, and business planning. This combined background helps her address planning questions that cross legal, financial, family, and tax considerations.

Emma’s professional work has included tax law, estate planning, tax research, tax preparation, and business planning. Her present estate-planning services include wills, trusts, advance health-care planning, financial powers of attorney, probate guidance, and assistance with funding trusts after documents are signed. She structures the planning process around an initial conversation, development of the plan, signing, and follow-through on implementation steps that can affect how the plan works in practice.

Emma J. Hilton emphasizes a direct and personal approach to estate planning. Clients work with her throughout the planning process rather than being passed between multiple professionals. Her practice is designed to help families understand their options, make deliberate choices, and leave with completed documents and a plan they can revisit as circumstances change. She combines estate-planning work with advanced tax education and experience in related tax and business matters.
