Why Weymouth Families Choose the Law Office of Jason Cullen
Weymouth is one of the oldest and most established communities on the South Shore, with roots going back to 1622. Generations of families have built their lives here, raising children, buying homes, and putting down roots in a town that still feels like a community even as it has grown into one of the largest on the South Shore.
For many Weymouth families, their home is their biggest asset. Without a proper estate plan, that home goes through probate, a public, time-consuming, and often expensive court process that your family has to navigate during an already difficult time. The right estate plan can keep your home and other assets out of probate entirely, so your family can focus on what matters instead of dealing with the courts. If you still have a mortgage on your home, that does not prevent you from transferring it into a revocable living trust. You keep full control of the property and continue making payments as normal.
Whether you are a young family that needs to name a guardian for your children, a longtime homeowner looking to protect your property, or approaching retirement and thinking about healthcare proxies and powers of attorney, I take the time to understand your situation and build a plan that fits. I have a personal connection to Weymouth. In addition to practicing law, I currently serve as a firefighter here in town. That experience shaped how I approach estate planning. Protecting families is not just my profession. It is something I have built my career around. As a solo attorney, I work directly with every client. You will never be handed off to a paralegal or associate. The plan I build for your family gets my full personal attention from start to finish.

Common Estate Planning Questions in Weymouth
Do I need a trust or a will in Massachusetts?+
It depends on your goals and assets. A will is the foundation of any estate plan, but if you own a home or want to avoid probate, a trust-based plan may be a better fit. A revocable living trust keeps your assets out of probate court, which saves your family time, money, and stress. You can also transfer your home into a trust even if you still carry a mortgage. During a consultation, I will look at your specific situation and recommend the right approach.
How do I avoid probate on my Weymouth home?+
The most effective way to avoid probate on your home is to transfer it into a revocable living trust. This keeps your property out of the probate process entirely, so your family can access it without court involvement. Massachusetts does not allow transfer-on-death deeds for real estate, so a trust or a life estate deed are the primary alternatives. Each option has tradeoffs, and I will help you choose the right strategy for your situation.
What happens if I die without an estate plan in Massachusetts?+
If you pass away without a will or trust in Massachusetts, state intestacy laws decide how your assets are divided. This may not match what you would have wanted, and it can create delays, family conflict, and unnecessary court costs. Having even a basic estate plan gives you control over what happens to your property and who takes care of your children.
