Trusts and Estates
Cummings & Lockwood's Trusts and Estates Group is one of the largest and most skilled practice groups of its kind found in any law firm in the country. Our work goes far beyond wills, trusts and tax returns. Though we complete hundreds of those each year, we have also designed thousands of wealth-preserving estate plans, created scores of charitable foundations and served as trusted advisors in the management and transfer of our clients' wealth.
Several families that were among the Firm's first clients are still Cummings & Lockwood clients. Generations later, we represent descendants who reside in every part of the world. We serve as a bridge between generations--ensuring that values, wishes and goals are maintained. Technology has made our practice more efficient and more personal. Computerized drafting and tax software, much of which was designed by Cummings & Lockwood attorneys, enables us to devote more time to counseling individuals and structuring legal instruments tailored to their needs.
We are particularly well qualified to serve the needs of entrepreneurs, since we are able to coordinate personal and business finances in designing tax-minimizing estate plans that deal with the succession of business ownership, intellectual property, environmental liabilities and other business issues in ways that benefit the family and the business. In sum, we offer the expertise that can be achieved through a group of specialists practicing together, without forfeiting the personal service that has been our trademark as trusted family advisors.
