Our Story

A Firm Built on Trust, Continuity & Care

Founded in 1983, Hargrove & Associates has guided three generations of Boston families through life’s most consequential decisions. What began as a one-attorney practice near Beacon Hill has grown into one of the region’s most respected estate planning boutiques.

Our clients are executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, educators, and multigenerational families — united by a desire to protect what they have built and ensure it passes with intention.

We believe estate planning is not a transaction — it is a relationship. Every plan we craft begins with listening: to your family dynamics, your values, and the future you envision.
