Annalei Babson is the founder and principal attorney at Babson Law Office in Gloucester, where she helps families protect their legacies through thoughtful estate planning and trust administration. Recognized by her peers as one of Greater Boston’s Top Lawyers in Trusts and Estates by Boston Magazine, she has established herself as a leading voice in her field.

As President of the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Forum of Estate Planning Attorneys, Annalei leads a distinguished group of New England lawyers practicing in trust and estate planning and administration, elder law, asset protection planning, taxation, and business planning. Her commitment to the legal community reflects the same dedication she brings to every client relationship.

With five years of legal experience and a background as a successful marketing firm owner, Annalei brings both legal precision and genuine understanding to her practice. Before law school, she spent years building brands for local businesses as a graphic designer and marketing strategist. That experience taught her to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and translate complex ideas into clear solutions. These are skills that shape how she approaches estate planning. She knows that behind every legal document is a family with unique goals, concerns, and stories worth protecting.

Annalei sees her role as more than drafting documents. In estate planning, she’s a trusted advisor who takes time to understand what matters most to each family, then creates comprehensive plans that reflect their values and priorities. In probate and estate administration, she serves as a compassionate caregiver, guiding families through difficult transitions with patience and understanding during times of loss. Her clients appreciate her warmth, attention to detail, and commitment to making both the planning process and the administration of estates feel approachable rather than overwhelming.

When families work with Annalei, they’re not just getting an attorney—they’re gaining a dedicated partner in planning for their future and a steady presence during life’s most challenging transitions.
