Estate Planning Rooted in
Your Life and Values
Planning Grounded in Understanding
Our ability to get results for our clients comes from deeply understanding what matters most to you—not just legally, but personally. With extensive experience in estate planning law and a client-centered approach, we take the time to educate you, answer your questions, and create a plan that actually works when it’s needed. Because we prioritize relationships over transactions, you won’t be left to figure things out alone. Instead, you’ll have a trusted legal partner who’s committed to ensuring your plan is clear, effective, and aligned with your wishes at every stage of life.
All of our planning levels include our free services package, which includes regular plan reviews, invoice-free phone calls & emails, asset inventory and document storage, newsletter and educational resources. Our trust plans also include a successor trustee manual and meeting with successor trustee when the time comes.
The Team
Erin Nobles, Partner
I’m a Massachusetts estate planning attorney and proud member of the Boston Bar Association, the Women’s Bar Association, and the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys. My passion is helping families make confident legal, financial, and personal decisions that protect the people they love—now and in the future.
I work with all kinds of families—single parents, blended families, LGBTQ+ couples, parents of children with special needs, and those growing through birth or adoption. Every family is different, and every one deserves a plan that fits.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the North Shore with my family, practicing mindfulness, or cheering on the Loyola Chicago Wolves.
I’d love to help you build a plan that gives you peace of mind—and protects your loved ones no matter what. I can’t wait to meet you.
Kerri Koen, Partner
I am an estate planning attorney licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I’m also a mom, stepmom, and proud wife of a firefighter. I help families create estate plans that protect their kids, their assets, and their peace of mind—without court battles or family conflict.
As a first-generation lawyer, I know how overwhelming estate planning can feel. That’s why I make the process clear, approachable, and personal—so you can move forward with confidence.
I focus on families with children, helping them name legal guardians, protect what they’ve built, and plan for the future they want. I’m also a passionate advocate for women in business, serving as a Board Advisor for Ellevate Network Boston.
When I’m not working, I’m probably spending time with my husband and kiddos, listening to country music, or unwinding with friends over a glass of wine. I’d love to help you put the right plan in place—so your loved ones are protected, no matter what.
Laura Murphy, Client Services Manager
I am beyond proud to be a part of the Modern Legacy Team! I moved back to Massachusetts in 2022 after 10 years of living in New York City. The bright lights and theater scene of the Big Apple may have lured this actor/dancer away for some time but truly my heart has always remained in Boston. I grew up in North Andover dancing at Nancy Chippendale’s School of Dance, graduated from Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, and attended Emerson College in Boston for Acting. When my brother and his family moved to Melrose a few years back, it was during those family visits to see them that I fell in love with this community and all the city has to offer. In fact, we loved it so much that my fiancé (now husband) and I decided to pack up our things and move here ourselves!
My role on the team is to assist Erin and Kerri behind the scenes and offer client support throughout the estate planning process. I am very much a people person and the fact that I can be of service to this wonderful community and connect with so many of you is an honor. When I am not in the office, I spend my time drawing digital pet portraits, recording voice over auditions, and participating as an actor for simulated patient programs for several Boston based medical schools.
