Why Quincy Families Choose the Law Office of Jason Cullen
Quincy is the largest city on the South Shore and one of the most diverse communities in the region. From multi-generational families in Wollaston to small business owners in Quincy Center, every household has a different story, and every estate plan should reflect that. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to protecting your family.

Many Quincy residents are small business owners running restaurants, shops, professional practices, and service companies. If you own a business, your estate plan needs to go beyond a will. You need a plan that includes succession planning so your business can continue or be transferred smoothly if something happens to you. Without one, your family could face a business that is frozen in probate while bills keep coming.
Quincy is also home to many blended families and multi-generational households. These situations require careful planning to make sure everyone is provided for, including spouses, children from previous relationships, stepchildren, and aging parents. A trust-based plan gives you precise control over how your assets are distributed, to whom, and when. I have personal ties to Quincy, having grown up in Squantum and later lived in Wollaston with my wife. I know this community, and I understand the families who call it home. I take the time to understand your family's actual situation before recommending a plan, and I explain every document in plain language so you know exactly what you are signing and why.

Common Estate Planning Questions in Quincy
How does estate planning work for blended families?+
Blended families need estate plans that clearly define who receives what and who makes decisions if something happens to you. Without a plan, Massachusetts law may distribute your assets in ways that do not account for stepchildren, former spouses, or current partners. A trust-based plan gives you precise control over how your assets are distributed and when.
Do I need a trust if I own a small business in Quincy?+
If you are a small business owner, a trust can be an important part of your estate plan, but business succession planning goes beyond just a trust. You need a plan that addresses who takes over the business, how ownership transfers, and how to protect the business from being disrupted if something happens to you. I work with Quincy business owners to build plans that protect both the family and the business.
What is a healthcare proxy and why do I need one?+
A healthcare proxy is a legal document that names someone you trust to make medical decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself. Without one, your family may face delays or disagreements about your care and may even need to go to court for the authority to act. Everyone over 18 should have a healthcare proxy in place.
