Estate Planning And Probate Services In Norwell And Cohasset

At Cushing & Dolan, P.C., we provide comprehensive estate planning and probate services to families and individuals throughout Norwell, Cohasset and the greater South Shore area.

As Norwell estate planning lawyers and Cohasset estate planning attorneys with decades of combined experience, our team is poised to help high-asset clients protect their wealth, plan for the future and preserve their legacy for generations to come.

Protecting What You Have Built On The South Shore

Massachusetts imposes its own estate tax, and without proper planning, the state’s estate tax cliff can expose significant portions of an estate to unnecessary liability. Our attorneys work with high-income families, physicians and corporate executives throughout the South Shore to build tailored wealth preservation strategies. As your South Shore estate tax attorney team, we help you explore tools that may include:

• Credit shelter trusts to reduce overall estate tax exposure
• Irrevocable trusts to protect and transfer assets outside of your taxable estate
• Advanced gifting strategies designed to reduce long-term tax liability

Choosing the right combination of these tools can make a real difference in what your family ultimately keeps.

Shielding Real Estate And Coastal Property

Norwell and Cohasset are home to valuable oceanfront properties, historic estates and high-end second homes. Our approach to asset protection in Norwell and Cohasset centers on using realty trusts and nominee trusts to protect these properties, simplify ownership transfers and maintain privacy. Families in Hingham and Scituate also turn to us for similar strategies across the South Shore.

Navigating Probate In Plymouth And Norfolk Counties

Our team guides clients through the probate process in both Plymouth and Norfolk counties. Whether you need help administering an estate or navigating the necessary legal steps, we handle each detail with care. If you need a Norwell probate attorney or a Cohasset trust and estate lawyer, we help clients put important documents in place, including:

• Healthcare proxies and durable powers of attorney
• Wills and living trusts
• Beneficiary designations and estate administration documents

We work to make the entire process as clear and manageable as possible for you and your family.
